Retrial adjourned after Nally hospitalised

PADRAIG Nally, the Mayo farmer on trial for shooting dead a Traveller, was under observation in hospital yesterday after being taken ill with chest pains.

Mr Nally, 62, was unable to attend court on what was to have been the fifth day of his retrial for the manslaughter, in October 2004, of John ‘Frog’ Ward.

Friends who were with Mr Nally when he took ill in a Dublin hotel on Thursday night called a doctor who examined him.
