A trial centering on a riot in Derry which culminated in the murder of journalist Lyra McKee has been adjourned for a month.
Ms McKee lost her life after being struck by a bullet fired at police during a riot in the Creggan area of the city on the evening of April 18 2019.
10 men from Derry are currently on trial on charges linked to the incident.
Three defendants have been charged with murdering Ms McKee, possessing a firearm and ammunition and other linked offences including rioting and both possessing and throwing petrol bombs.
The trio are Paul McIntyre (57) from Kells Walk, 24-year old Jordan Devine from Bishop Street and Peter Cavanagh (36) from Mary Street.
Seven co-accused were charged with offences including rioting and throwing petrol bombs.
They are Christopher Gillen (44) from Balbane Pass, Joseph Campbell (24) from Gosheden Cottages, 32-year old Patrick Gallagher from John Field Place, Jude McCrory (27) from Gartan Square, Joseph Barr (36) from Sandringham Drive, 56-year old Kieran McCool from Ballymagowan Gardens and William Elliot (58), who is also from Ballymagowan Gardens.
The case was listed on Friday at Belfast Crown Court where it emerged that due to a strike by barristers - which is due to commence next Monday - the non-jury trial will not be sitting during the industrial action.
Last month criminal barristers voted to withdraw from all legally aided Crown Court cases for a four-week period in a dispute over Legal Aid.
Judge Patricia Smyth is presiding in the trial and was addressed today by a Crown barrister.
He said: “Your Honour is aware of the withdrawal of services which is planned to commence on Monday and there is nothing to suggest that this case is not included in that - so we anticipate that the next sitting day available for this trial will be the 3rd of February, after that four-week period concludes.”
The prosecutor also told Judge Smyth that when the trial resumes, the Crown case will continue with “agreed facts” including “search and arrests” and mobile phone evidence.
Several defence barristers then informed the Belfast Recorder that they were awaiting outstanding disclosure from the Crown.
Judge Smyth adjourned the case for a month and said the hearing will resume again on February 3.
