Husband to ask court for release on bail

THE husband of slain mother Celine Cawley will ask the High Court next Tuesday to release him on bail.

Eamonn Lillis, aged 51, of Rowan Hill, Windgate Road, Howth, was charged on Sunday with the murder of Ms Cawley, aged 46, at her home on Monday, December 15.

Dara Robinson, solicitor for Lillis, told Mr Justice Peter Charleton in the High Court yesterday that Lillis had appeared at Cloverhill District Court earlier in the day and had been remanded in custody for a fortnight.
