Sentencing for garda murderer Aaron Brady delayed
The sentence hearing for garda murderer Aaron Brady will be delayed due to a planned barrister strike
A number of cases before the Special Criminal Court that were due to take place on the day of a planned barrister strike, including a sentence hearing for garda murderer Aaron Brady, will now be delayed.
Brady was due to be sentenced on July 15 for attempting to pervert the course of justice during his trial for the murder of Det Gda Adrian Donohoe.
Barristers, in a dispute regarding low pay, are planning to strike on July 9th, 15th and 24th.
Mr Justice Tony Hunt, presiding at the three-judge, non-jury court on Monday morning, adjourned all matters that had been scheduled for the 15th to the following day.
In August 2020, Brady (33) formerly of New Road, Crossmaglen, Co Armagh was convicted by a jury of the murder of Det Gda Adrian Donohoe during a credit union robbery at Lordship, Bellurgan, Co Louth on January 25, 2013.
Earlier this year Brady pleaded guilty to a charge that on a date between February 20 and May 7, 2020, within the State, he video recorded the playing of an interview between Ronan Flynn, a witness at his trial, and An Garda Siochana, thus embarking on a course of conduct intended to pervert the course of justice.
