A trial date has been fixed for a 31-year-old man who is charged with a triple murder at his family home in Co Louth last year.
Robert O'Connor, 31, of Drumgowna, Co Louth, is charged with the murder of his mother Louise Doherty O'Connor, his father Mark O'Connor and his brother Evan O'Connor at Drumgowna on 29 September last year.
At the Central Criminal Court, defence counsel, Michael Bowman SC, said there is a "psychiatric dimension" to the case.
