Ten people from New Ross facing charges in connection with death of Swedish man in 2003 have had their court case adjourned until 10.30 a.m. tomorrow.
Wexford Circuit Criminal Court heard how seven of the accused - Raymond Kelly; brothers Ian, Stephen and Johnathon Bolger; Sinead Kane; Owen Lennon; and Anthony O'Leary - all from New Ross - pleaded not guilty to charges of violent disorder and endangerment.
Sinead Kane also pleaded not guilty to a third charge of assisting offenders.
The court also heard how husband and wife Sean and Noeleen Wickham of New Ross pleaded not guilty to endangerment and intent to pervert the course of justice.
The tenth defendant in the case, Jason Murphy of New Ross, pleaded guilty to affray. Judge Pat McCartan told the jury the case might last four weeks.
The charges relate to violent disorder on July 20th, 2003. Mr Lars Eric Magnus Forsmark (30), who lived at Pearse Road, Sligo town, was in Wickham's pub on Mary Street, New Ross, during the JFK Dunbrody Festival.
He died after a row broke out in the pub at around 12.40 a.m. He and a number of others were ejected.
Mr Forsmark, a jewellery street vendor from Sweden, collapsed shortly afterwards outside a house opposite the pub.
