A case against convicted killer and rapist Ian Horgan was adjourned at a sitting of Clonakilty District Court in West Cork on Thursday because the accused’s solicitor was too ill to attend the hearing.

Judge Colm Roberts was told that Mr Horgan’s solicitor Sean Cahill was “sick in his bed” and could not attend court in Clonakilty.
