Two jurors fell ill on Tuesday in the trial of a 13-year-old boy and a 15-year-old boy accused of raping a 16-year-old girl at a Christmas race meeting in Limerick.

And a medical doctor who had just commenced giving evidence in the case at the Central Criminal Court in Cork left the witness box and provided them with medical assistance.
