The 76-year-old former scout leader Michael Noel Sheehan convicted of indecently assaulting a 13-year-old boy scout in the 1980s will be sentenced on Monday.

He was remanded in custody overnight to Thursday for sentencing but Judge Helen Boyle was told that he was ill in prison. His barrister Paula McCarthy asked for sentencing to be adjourned. Judge Boyle listed it for sentencing on February 21.
