The case against prominent republican Thomas “Slab” Murphy, who is being prosecuted on tax charges, has been put back for a further two months.

Mr Murphy (aged 60) is being prosecuted on foot of an investigation by the Criminal Assets Bureau. The nine charges allege that he failed to furnish a return of his income, profits or gains to the Collector General or the Inspector of Taxes for the years 1996/97 to 2004.
