The reporting
newest first- 5 Sep2025Limerick court hears plea for 16 year old to be allowed visit dying grandmother
Court report on a remand hearing at Limerick District Court where the boy's solicitor sought temporary bail for a hospital visit and the judge remanded him in detention to 5 September. The article gives the incident date as 17 June and the place as Kilrush, which differs from the existing case 12761 (13 June, west Clare town, Ennis court), so it is not linked to that case.
