Healy-Rae appeals against assault convictions adjourned again

The adjournments are being sought by the State to facilitate witnesses who wish to travel and who have been unable to do so because of Covid regulations.

Appeals to the Circuit Court by Jackie and Kevin Healy-Rae — sons of Kerry TD Michael Healy-Rae — against District Court convictions for a late-night assault on an English man in Kenmare in December 2017, have again been adjourned at the request of the State.

Appeals were lodged more than two years ago, after the Healy-Raes and a friend were given suspended sentences at Kenmare District Court.
