flag A murder trial in Ireland was delayed in February 2026 due to the accused’s missing PPS number, required by the Legal Aid Board to approve a psychiatric report. flag Despite resolving a pay dispute that increased legal fees to €300 per hour, the case stalled when the board refused to proceed without the number, which the solicitor could not obtain. flag Judge Mr Justice Tony Hunt criticized the delay as a failure of bureaucracy over justice, stating trials should not be held up by such procedural issues. flag The case was adjourned to March, with the State offering to help locate the PPS number.
