Garda killer Aaron Brady's appeal against his conviction for the murder of Detective Garda Adrian Donohoe has been adjourned until Wednesday due to Tuesday's strike by criminal barristers seeking to reverse cuts to legal aid fees.

Aaron Brady, 32, previously of New Road, Crossmaglen, Co Armagh, is serving a life sentence with a 40-year minimum having been found guilty in 2020 of murdering Detective Garda Adrian Donohoe, 41, at Lordship Credit Union in Bellurgen, Co Louth, on January 25, 2013.
