AAA TD Paul Murphy trial date yet to be named

A trial date has yet to be set for Anti Austerity Alliance TD Paul Murphy on charges of falsely imprisoning acting Tánaiste Joan Burton during a water charges protest in Jobstown almost 18 months ago.

Mr Murphy, aged 32, with an address at The Copse, Woodpark, Ballinteer, Co Dublin, appeared at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court along with 18 others, some facing charges of false imprisonment and violent disorder.

His defence team requested adjournment for mention to allow recent correspondence from the State to be considered. They said they had replied to the DPP on Friday and were awaiting a response.
