Mr Justice Paul McDermott fixed Ms Anderson's trial date on Monday morning at the court.

Mr Justice McDermott said the case should return before him for case management and updates on reports on July 22.

Ms Anderson, of Brownsbarn Wood, Kingswood, Dublin 24, is charged with murdering Gareth Kelly, 39, who died from stab wounds following an incident at the estate on the morning of February 25, 2020.
