Six One News: Mary Wilson, Legal Affairs Correspondent, reports that the fall-out from the Supreme Court's C judgement continued today
A number of men charged with unlawful carnal knowledge have had their cases adjourned in the Dublin Circuit Criminal Court.
The cases included the man who successfully challenged the constitutionality of the legislation in the Supreme Court.
Judge Catherine Delahunt agreed to adjourn six cases of statutory rape of girls aged under 15 and girls between 15 and 17 until 31 October.
Issues were raised by Defence Counsel Marie Torrence in relation to the court's jurisdiction in these cases given the Supreme Court ruling.
She has now indicated she will bring these issues before the High Court.
