The Supreme Court has been urged to direct a retrial of Tipperary farmer Patrick Quirke for the charge of murder of part-time DJ Bobby Ryan.
Lawyers for Quirke told the seven-judge court that a trial court is the "best place" to resolve issues arising from its March ruling that a computer was unlawfully seized from Quirke’s home by gardaí.
Following submissions on Tuesday, the Chief Justice, Mr Justice Donal O’Donnell, said the court will give its judgment later on the consequences flowing from the earlier findings.
