Aaron Brady trial transcripts to be removed from Facebook by 'close of day'

The court heard that the trial materials were accompanied by "commentary of a dubious nature which could possibly be a contempt of court”

The court heard that the transcripts had been shared on the social networking service by the accused’s father, Tony Brady (pictured), after “all the material had been released by this court”. File picture: Collins Courts

Transcripts from the trial of Aaron Brady have been posted on Facebook by his father as part of a campaign to free the garda killer, despite a court order that they should not be further shared without permission.

Lawyers for Brady told the Court of Appeal on Friday morning that the transcripts should not have been shared online and assured the court they will be removed from the social media site by the “close of the day”.
