Irishman remanded after GP incident

A 56-year-old Irishman was remanded in custody when he appeared in court today accused of attempting to disrupt the British Grand Prix at Silverstone.

Neil Horan, of Howbury Road, Nunhead, south east London, is facing one count of aggravated trespass following an incident at the race circuit yesterday.

No plea was entered and magistrates in Northampton adjourned the case for seven days.

Horan, originally from Co Kerry, spoke only to confirm his full name, Cornelius Horan, age and address during the brief hearing.

Chairman of the bench Richard Nelson told Horan his next appearance before the court would be via video-link from prison.
