A lawyer for a man charged with the 2006 murder of British spy Denis Donaldson has expressed concern about delays in serving the book of evidence in the case.
He is charged with the murder of Mr Donaldson in Cloghercor, Doochary, Co Donegal, between April 3 and 4 2006 after being extradited from Scotland earlier this year.
Mr Donaldson, 55, was shot dead at a remote cottage near Glenties, months after he was exposed as a paid agent for Special Branch and MI5 since the 1980s.
Mr Donaldson was also a former administrator for Sinn Féin’s Stormont Assembly team.
He said a pending bail application had been delayed because the second book of evidence had not yet been served.
