The husband of murdered woman Rachel O'Reilly today had his case for motoring offences adjourned.
Joe O'Reilly (33) was stopped by gardai at Walshstown, outside Balbriggan, Co Dublin last November, two months after his wife's body was found in their nearby home.
He was charged with failing to have a driving licence or insurance and failing to display both. At Balbriggan District Court today, barrister Mairead Carey, representing Mr O'Reilly, said she was seeking a short adjournment.
Gardai at the scene of Rachel O'Reilly's murder in September, 2004.
Judge Cormac Dunne asked a prosecuting Garda Declan McGarvey of Skerries Garda Station if he had any objection. Garda McGarvey said he had no objection.
Judge Dunne set October 13th as the date for the case to be mentioned in the court again.
Mr O'Reilly, from Lambay View, Baldarragh, the Naul, Dublin, sat at the rear of the court dressed in an orange hoodie top, white shirt and black trousers.
Mrs O'Reilly's inquest was postponed at the Dublin Coroner's Court in Tallaght last week for the second time.
The inquest heard that a Garda file on the murder of the mother-of-two had not yet been submitted to the Director of Public Prosecutions.
She was found lying with fatal head injuries at her home in Baldarragh, near Naul, on October 4th last year. She had been battered to death with a blunt instrument.
At the first hearing of her inquest the state pathologist Dr Marie Cassidy said she had died after receiving multiple blows which had caused a fractured skull and damaged the brain.
Gardai believe that she was killed between 9.30am and 11.30am on the morning of October 4th and that her killer was waiting for her when she returned home after dropping her two sons to a primary school and a Montessori school.
Detectives in the murder investigation have checked the mobile phone records of the chief suspect and have carried out a nationwide search for a Fiat car seen in the area around the time of the murder.
Mrs O'Reilly's body was exhumed in Fingal Cemetery last March after gardai received information about a note that had allegedly been placed in her coffin.
Three people, including a suspect, a male colleague and a female friend, were arrested and questioned by gardai last November but they were released without charge.
