In a case of alleged theft of €400 which is having a devastating impact on the accused's career, the earliest available hearing date is almost 2 years away - 18 April 2022.

Due to the Covid crisis and the backlog of cases before the courts, only cases involving senior counsel are being given pre-trial hearings. Mr O’Higgins will be defended by Michael O’Higgins SC, the court heard, while Ronan Kennedy SC is prosecuting the case.
That is a long time to have a case hanging over one's head.
The carer who raped the elderly woman in a care home on 3 April this year, was sentenced yesterday. But he had pleaded guilty.
