The Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) is concerned that a campaign on behalf of Aaron Brady, who murdered Detective Garda Adrian Donohoe, has released transcripts and other trial materials on social media along with "dubious" commentary that could be a contempt of court.

At a brief hearing in the Court of Appeal today,  Brendan Grehan SC, for the DPP, asked the court to make an order that transcripts released for Brady's upcoming appeal should not be used for any other purpose.
