Six One News: Orla O'Donnell, Legal Affairs Correspondent, reports on the direction from the judge to the jurors
The jury in the trial of Co Mayo farmer, Padraig Nally, for the manslaughter of John Ward two years ago has been sent to a hotel for a second night.
The jury has now been deliberating for ten hours over the past two days.
Earlier Mr Justice Kevin O'Higgins had told the jurors they could return a majority verdict, saying he would accept a majority verdict from not less than ten of them for an acquittal or a conviction.
He also stressed that there were no time constraints on them.
Mr Nally, a 62-year-old farmer from Claremorris, has pleaded not guilty to the manslaughter of John Ward, 42, on 14 October 2004.
