A date is expected to be fixed by the High Court next week for the hearing of an application for the release of a Dublin man, Joseph Kavanagh, jailed for offences connected with the 1993 kidnapping of National Irish Bank director Mr Jim Lacey and members of his family.
Counsel for the State applied for a one-week adjournment. Mr Justice Finnegan adjourned the matter to Thursday next. Kavanagh (43), Benbulben Road, Crumlin, Dublin, was convicted in October 1997 of robbery, possession of a handgun and demanding cash with menaces.
