A Dublin man accused of stealing €66,000 worth of Easter eggs is to challenge a decision to put him on trial in the non-jury Special Criminal Court.
The court was told yesterday that Kenneth Gaffney had been put on trial twice in the Circuit Criminal Court, but the High Court ordered last May that his trial should be transferred to the Special Criminal Court.
Mr Gaffney (48), Oakwood Road, Finglas, is charged with stealing a container-load of Easter eggs from Dublin ferryport on January 22nd, 2002. The court remanded him on continuing bail until October 6th.
