Paul Murphy has been granted legal aid for his upcoming trial.

The Anti Austerity Alliance TD faces charges of falsely imprisoning acting Tánaiste Joan Burton during a water charges protest almost 18 months ago.

There was no garda objection to legal aid based on the figures in documentation presented by Deputy Murphy's solicitor.

A block of four weeks next April have already been set aside for the trial.
