Armagh man to stand trial in 2019 for murder of Garda Adrian Donohoe

A man accused of murdering Detective Garda Adrian Donohoe in a shooting in 2013 will go on trial in October next year.

Aaron Brady (27) from New Road, Crossmaglen was earlier this year charged with the murder of a member of An Garda Síochána, Adrian Donohoe, in the course of his duty, at Lordship Credit Union, Bellurgan, Co Louth on January 25th, 2013.

Earlier this week Brendan Grehan SC for the prosecution said the trial will take six to eight weeks as Justice Michael White at the Central Criminal Court set a date of October 8th, 2019 for the trial to begin.

Michael O’Higgins SC will lead the defence. At a previous court hearing a four-volume book of evidence was served.
