Man accused of murder incapable of appearing in court.
Gan chumas ag fear cúisithe i ndúnmharú teacht os comhair cúirte.
It has been said that a 43-year-old man accused of the murder of Garda Detective Colm Horkan in County Roscommon is unlikely to appear in court in the coming weeks.
Dúradh gur beag seans go mbeidh sé ar chumas fear 43 bliain daois atá cúisithe i ndúnmharú an Gharda Bleachtaire Colm Horkan i gContae Ros Comáin teacht os comhair na cúirte sna seachtainí romhain.
Stephen Silver, who had an address in Foxford, Mayo, was charged with the murder of Garda Detective Colm Horkan in Castlerea on 17 June.
Cúisíodh Stephen Silver a raibh seoladh aige i mBéal Easa i gcontae Mhaigh Eo i ndúnmharú an Gharda Bleachtaire Colm Horkan sa Chaisleán Riabhach ar 17 Meitheamh.
Stephen Silver was due to appear before Henrystown District Court but was ruled unable to appear by video link.
Bhí Stephen Silver le teacht os comhair Chúirt Dhúiche Bhaile Anraí ach cinneadh nach raibh sé in ann teacht i láthair trí nasc físe.
His lawyer, Gearoid Geraghty, told Judge Alan Mitchell that his client was being treated at the Central Mental Hospital.
Dúirt a dhlíadóir, Gearoid Geraghty leis an Bhreitheamh Alan Mitchell go bhfuil cóir leigis á chur ar a chliant sa Phríomh- Ospidéal Meabhair-Ghalar.
This is the third time since he has been charged that Stephen Silver was unable to appear in court via video link.
Seo an tríú huair ónar cúisíodh é nach raibh Stephen Silver in ann teacht os comhair na cúirte trí nasc físe.
Mr Geraghty said doctors at the Central Mental Hospital expect him to recover in the next two months.
Dúirt an tUasal Geraghty go bhfuil dochtúirí sa Phríomh-Ospidéal Meabhair-Ghalar ag súil go dtiocfaidh biseach air sa dhá mhí romhainn.
The State applied for Mr. Silver to appear before Henrystown District Court via video link on 7 August.
Rinne an Stát iarratas go mbeadh an tUasal Silver os comhair Chúirt Dhúiche Bhaile Anraí trí nasc físe ar an 7 Lúnasa.
The Judge upheld the application.
Ghlac an Breitheamh leis an iarratas.
