A number of high-profile criminal appeals may have to be re-heard because High Court judge Mr. Justice Michael Hanna is seriously ill.

Cases affected include convicted killer Brian Rattigan, sex attacker Anthony Lyons and the ‘singing priest’ child sex abuser Tony Walsh.

Chief Justice Susan Denham announced Mr. Justice Hanna’s illness at the Court of Criminal Appeal this morning.
