Cranberries singer Dolores O'Riordan did not appear in court today as she is receiving ongoing medical treatment in a residential centre.

O'Riordan, who was due to appear before Ennis District Court today in relation to an alleged assault at Shannon Airport last year, has had her case adjourned until December 16.

Solicitor Bill O'Donnell said his client was undergoing medical treatment in a residential centre and would benefit from an adjournment period of three months.

O'Riordan had been summonsed to appear before Ennis District Court in relation to an alleged minor assault on two airport police and a Garda after disembarking from an Aer Lingus flight from New York.

The singer is also facing an additional summons of resisting arrest at Shannon Airport on the same date.

O’Riordan was not legally obliged to be in court today and Judge Patrick Duncan adjourned the case to December 16.
