The jury in the trial of Aaron Brady, who is charged with the murder of Detective Garda Adrian Donohoe, will continue their deliberations tomorrow morning.
Deliberations by the seven women and five men of the jury ended just before 2pm today, to resume again tomorrow at 9am.
The jury has spent almost two hours deliberating in the case which began at the end of January.
Aaron Brady, 29, of New Road, Crossmaglen, Co Armagh, has pleaded not guilty to the murder of Detective Donohoe, who was shot dead at Lordship Credit Union in Co Louth on 25 January 2013.
Mr Brady also denies a charge of robbing approximately €7,000 in cash and cheques.
Earlier, Mr Justice Michael White advised the jury to first consider a verdict on the robbery charge and then consider a verdict on the capital murder charge.
The jury has heard evidence from 139 witnesses in 60 days of evidence.
As the trial continued through the Covid-19 pandemic, members of the jury have been maintaining social distancing measures, and will continue those measures in the deliberations room - a specially assigned courtroom.
As he sent the jury out to begin deliberations, Mr Justice White said the case had gone on a long time and he told the jury there was no time pressure on them in their deliberations, that they should take as much time as they need in their deliberations.
