The Rachel O'Reilly murder trial at the Central Criminal Court has heard evidence of CCTV footage gathered by gardaí.
Joe O'Reilly is pleading not guilty to the murder of his wife at their home in The Naul, Co Dublin on 4 October 2004.
This afternoon, the court was told of a reconstruction of a journey from the O'Reilly home to the Broadstone bus depot where Mr O'Reilly told gardaí he was on the morning of 4 October.
Detective Garda Jim McGovern told the court that the journey took around 40 minutes, with progress noted at several landmarks along the route, including Blake's Cross where CCTV from the day in question identifies a car similar to Mr O'Reilly's.
The car was first seen travelling north towards the family home at 8.55am. Later at 10.07am it was spotted travelling south again at Blake's Cross.
A text sent from Mr O'Reilly's phone to his wife at the same time on 4 October was sent via a mast close to Blake's Cross.
This morning, Detective Garda Sean Fitzpatrick told the court that he had gathered 119 individual pieces of CCTV footage.
He said he had used them to trace the movement of two cars, a silver Citroen Xsara and navy Fiat Marea Estate.
On the footage shown to the jury in the case, Joe O'Reilly is seen arriving at the Viacom office where he worked at 7.37am on the morning of 4 October 2004.
A car similar to Mr O'Reilly's Fiat Marea Estate was seen leaving the industrial estate where he worked at 8.12am on the morning of the murder.
The same car is then placed at a number of locations including Blake's Cross close to Balheary in north Co Dublin and then passing Murphy's Quarry in the direction of the O'Reilly family home at 9.10am.
A car similar to Rachel O'Reilly's car is seen driving in the direction of the family home at 9.41am.
The other car then drives away from the direction of the O'Reilly family home past Murphy's Quarry again at 9.59am, 18 minutes later.
Dominic McGinn SC, for the prosecution, this morning linked the location of the car matching the description of Mr O'Reilly's to a number of calls made and received by his phone on the morning of 4 October 2004.
The trial resumes in the morning.
