An application to dismiss two charges facing Sir Jeffrey Donaldson’s wife in the historical sex offences case involving them both has been heard in court.
She has entered not guilty pleas to three charges but her defence team has applied to have two other charges against her withdrawn.
The no bill application to dismiss the two charges was heard on Friday, as well as a response from the prosecution.
Eleanor Donaldson, 58, of Dublinhill Road, Dromore, faces charges of aiding and abetting.
They arrived separately at the court building in the city centre, making no comment to waiting media amid a significant police presence as they walked into the building.
