A Dublin woman charged with murdering her elderly mother was too ill to attend court on Thursday.

Mary Bergin, who was in her 70s, was found dead at her house at First Avenue, off Seville Place, in the north inner city, at around 11.50am on April 12. Her daughter, Moire Bergin, 45, also of First Avenue, Seville Place, was remanded in custody last Friday after she was charged with murder.
