A High Court challenge brought by the mother of murdered Limerick boxer Kevin Sheehy aimed at preventing her son's killer being transferred to a UK prison has been adjourned after lawyers for the minister for justice agreed to freeze the move until the action has been determined.

Ms Justice Siobhan Phelan was told on Thursday afternoon by Ann Marie Lawlor SC for the minister that her client wants the action brought by Tracey Tully, whose 20-year-old son was killed at Hyde Road, Limerick, on July 1, 2019, heard as soon as possible.
