The Court of Appeal had been due to hear an appeal against conviction, lodged by Boy B’s lawyers, next month. The appeal will now be held on 22 June after Brendan Grehan SC, for the Director of Public Prosecutions , and Andrew Forde BL, for Boy B, said they had no objection to the proposed new date.Boy B – who was sentenced to 15 years’ detention, to be reviewed after eight years, for Ana’s murder – was not present in court for today’s hearing.

Mr Justice Birmingham said the court had received a notice of motion on behalf of Boy B seeking to amend the grounds of appeal and introduce fresh evidence. The court was also told that the thrust of Boy B’s appeal would focus on the refusal to allow before the jury the evidence of a clinical psychologist, who said Boy B was suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder after witnessing the assault on Ana and that lies he told to gardai did not show he was guilty of murder.
