The jury in the trial of a Limerick man accused of attempting to murder a 21-year-old man last year has been instructed to return to the Central Criminal Court on Friday as there was no judge available to hear the case today.

A man has been charged before a special court sitting in Limerick in connection with the shooting of Daniel Phillips in the city last Monday night.

Gardaí in Limerick are still questioning a man and a woman today in connection with a shooting which has left a 20-year-old fighting for his life.
