A Mayo pensioner who faced 96 charges of rape and indecent assault has been declared not fit to stand trial on health grounds.
The man appeared in the Central Criminal Court in Dublin last week where his health situation was explained to the court.
The court was told the man suffers from Alzheimers.
He was deemed not fit to stand trial as a consequence and the case has been adjourned indefinitely.
Such cases can be given a hearing date at a future stage if the circumstances which led to the indefinite adjournment change.
The man, who cannot be named due to reporting restrictions, faced two charges of rape and 94 charges of indecent assault on three individuals.
When the man was served with a book of evidence in 2016, the district court in Mayo was told the charges relate to alleged offences on dates between 1974 and 1981 at various locations in Mayo.
