Three Clare teenagers who raped a woman last January have been remanded in custody for sentence after pleading guilty at the Central Criminal Court .
They pleaded guilty to raping a woman in her thirties at Cratloe Woods in Clare on January 23rd, 2004.
Mr Justice Paul Carney set July 30th as the sentence date and directed that their names be added to the register of sex offenders. He also directed the preparation of victim-impact and other reports for the sentence hearing.
Mr Justice Carney made an interim order prohibiting the naming in the media of the defendants and said his order remained in force at this stage until sentence date.
He later announced he would hear submissions before sentence date from media publishers on the question of whether or not the defendants can be named.
