Philip Ambrose is charged with the murder of Michael Hayes (71) at St Michael’s Court, Watergate, Limerick city on July 10, 2025
GARDAI have been given additional time to prepare the book of evidence in the case of a Limerick man who is charged with the murder of a pensioner earlier this year.
Philip Ambrose, aged 43, of no fixed abode, is charged with the murder of Michael Hayes (71) at St Michael’s Court, Watergate, Limerick city on July 10, last.
Mr Ambrose, who was first charged following his arrest the summer, appeared before Limerick District Court via video link for a procedural hearing.
Updating the court, Garda Inspector Liam Wallace said the book of evidence in relation to the case is not yet ready to be presented.

As a result, Insp Wallace made an application for an extension of time and an adjournment of the case to facilitate the completion of the book of evidence.
Judge Patricia Harney granted this request and she further remanded Mr Ambrose in custody, to appear again before Limerick District Court again on October 21.
During the brief hearing, the court heard that Mr Ambrose made an application for bail in the High Court but that his application was refused.
