Rapist case adjourned for psychiatric report

A convicted rapist who has been remanded in custody after breaching the conditions of his release will be psychiatrically assessed after a court heard he “wants help.”

Trevor Byrne (aged 36), with a former address at O’Devaney Gardens, had been released in March from an eight-year sentence for the attempted robbery of a woman at her Dublin home on September 15, 2009.
