Another judge had last week, while sitting in a courtroom streaming with sunlight, said the screen in front of him was distracting as he could see his own reflection in it while conducting proceedings.

In an affidavit, Mr Delaney said he was in charge of D wing at Limerick Prison on August 30th, 2019, and was arranging to escort prisoners to Limerick court.He said one prisoner became aggressive as an attempt was made to take him from his cell and Mr Delaney was bitten, headbutted and suffered a shoulder injury in the violent struggle that ensued.
