The Court of Appeal reserved judgment on Joe O'Reilly’s application concerning his murder conviction, reported on 3 March 2015.

O'Reilly was convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment in 2007 for murdering his wife at their home in the Naul, Co Dublin. The application argued that issues including a book of evidence being left in the jury room warranted a full hearing, while the Director of Public Prosecutions sought its dismissal. The court said judgment would be delivered as soon as possible.
