A Leaving Certificate student accused of murdering gunman Tristan Sherry, who died after fatally shooting a man in a Dublin restaurant on Christmas Eve, has been sent forward for trial to the non-jury Special Criminal Court.

A judge also held that there was no legal basis to impose reporting restrictions to prevent the media from naming him since he had turned 18 and reached adulthood.
