Anthony Kelly denied bail at High court

The High court has today denied an application for bail for arrested Clare business man Anthony Kelly who is charged with the Murder of Limerick bouncer Brian Fitzgerald.

Objecting to the application, Detective Sergeant Seamus Nolan said that the lives of two key witnesses due to give evidence would be in serious danger and also said that Mr. Kelly would likely flee the country.

The Prosecution alleges that Mr. Kelly hired hitman James Cahill, supplied him with a gun and ordered him to shoot Brian Fitzgerald in the head.
