The trial of Gerry 'The Monk' Hutch which was due to get underway at the Special Criminal Court today has been postponed for at least a week in light of "significant additional evidence."
Gerry Hutch briefly appeared in court after lunchtime today as details of the adjournment were heard. The Special Criminal Court heard that Hutch, who has been in custody for over a year, is "anxious" for the trial to proceed.
Defence counsel for Hutch, Brendan Grehan, requested the trial be delayed until at least next Monday in light of the new evidence which has led to a "fundamental reappraisal of the defence strategy."
