A 13-year-old boy accused of raping a 16-year-old girl at a Christmas race meeting in Limerick has been hospitalised and the trial could not go ahead on Tuesday.

One week ago in the same trial two members of the jury were taken ill while in court and one of them had to be taken to hospital by ambulance.
