Five men and one teenager have pleaded not guilty on Wednesday to the murder of 43-year-old Tom Dooley at a funeral at Rath Cemetery in Tralee.

The judge at the Central Criminal Court sitting in Cork advised those called for jury service that the case could go on until the end of July. Ms Justice Mary Ellen Ring told members of the jury panel that she understood that June and July are popular times for pre-arranged family holidays and that any difficulties they may have should be brought to her attention if selected to be sworn as a juror.
