Court accedes to defence team for murder accused

Brendan Nix told the court that a member of the Dundon family contacted John Devane solicitors on Tuesday and asked the Limerick firm to come on record for the accused man.

Counsel said he knew nothing about the case but had no difficulty in coming on board. He told the court he needed to go through the brief and had agreed with his instructing solicitors that different parties would each go through a third of the roughly 10,000 pages.

Mr Nix said that if the court saw fit to allow him come on board, there would be no “messing around” and that he would not be party to any “obfuscation.”
