'Trial within a trial' begins for Waterford man

The trial of a Co Waterford man accused of having three improvised mortar launch tubes at his home in 2011 has been adjourned until tomorrow.

Presiding judge Mr Justice Paul Butler said that a legal issue raised at the outset of the trial of 43-year-old Joseph Mooney deserved more time for consideration and the Special Criminal Court would put the matter back until tomorrow.
