Accused robbed two taxi drivers at knifepoint within two hours of each other

Defence solicitor says application to have case struck out will be made in two weeks if DPP directions are not available

The court was told the accused had been unable to meet bail conditions.

A Buttevant-based man accused of robbing two taxi drivers at knifepoint will apply to have the case against him struck out if the Director of Public Prosecutions does not give directions in the case within two weeks.

Frank Buttimer, solicitor, said on behalf of Jake Sheeran, that the application would be made on January 30 to have the charges struck if the DPP directions were not available.
