Action against State to run until at least end of January

Ian Bailey’s action against the State will run to at least the end of January, the High Court heard.

Under cross-examination by Paul O’Higgins, Marie Farrell denied his suggestion gardaí had not given her a video tape featuring Mr Bailey reciting poetry at the Christmas Day swim in Schull for her to watch, to see if she recognised anyone as the man she saw at 2am near Schull on December 23, 1996.

“There was definitely a tape.”
