Newspapers found 'in technical contempt of court' in Ennis case

The Irish Examiner and Irish Times newspapers have been found in "technical contempt of court" for publishing articles which lead to the collapse of the Pascal Carmody trial in Ennis.

Representatives of both national publications were present at Ennis Circuit Court today where they apologised unreservedly for printing the reports which presented a threat to the former Killaloe doctor's chances of a fair trial.
