The 20-year-old man accused of murdering Co Cork schoolboy Robert Holohan has succeeded in having his trial delayed until next month.

Wayne O'Donoghue, from Ballyedmond in Middleton, is accused of murdering his 11-year-old neighbour close to both their homes in January of this year.

The youngster's body was found near Inch Strand on January 12th, eight days after he disappeared while out riding his bicycle.

Mr O'Donoghue was due to go on trial later this month, but his legal team sought more time today to prepare their case.

The presiding judge approved the application and set November 29th as the new start date for the trial.
