Former hockey international Catriona Carey was not present in court on Thursday in Kilkenny for an appeal hearing in relation to road traffic offences.
The appeal has now been adjourned to the October sittings of the Kilkenny District Court appeals at Kilkenny Circuit Court after the court heard that there had been "a severe breakdown in communications" in relation to her solicitor, who also was not present in court.
The former camogie star, who previously had an address at Weir View Hill in Kilkenny, is appealing a three-month suspended sentence which was handed down at Kilkenny District Court last May after she pleaded guilty to road traffic offences including driving without insurance and without a valid licence. She was also disqualified for driving for four years.
