Costs application refused after bouncer murder trial

Clare businessman Anthony Kelly, one of the three men cleared of the murder of a Limerick bouncer in November, has been denied his application for the cost of his defence at the Central Criminal Court.

Mr Kelly (aged 50), with an address in Kilrush, was acquitted of the murder of Brian Fitzgerald, on November 29, 2002 at Brookhaven Walk, Mill Road, Corbally, Limerick. Brothers John (aged 27) and Desmond (aged 23) Dundon both from Ballinacurra Weston, Co. Limerick were also acquitted after the 18-day trial.
