A convicted armed robber who escaped outside Limerick Circuit Court last week was still at large last night.
Martin Casey (19), from Lenihan Avenue, Prospect, Limerick, was taken to the courthouse on Wednesday morning last after what was later referred to by the Department of Justice as an administrative blunder.
Another man of the same name was listed for a court hearing on the day.
As Casey was being taken out of the court at around 5 p.m. he slipped his handcuffs and escaped. The Minister for Justice has ordered an investigation.
