Following his trial last year, McGovern was found not guilty of murder but guilty of the manslaughter of Mr Doherty who was a settled traveller that lived with his family at Ashline on the Kilrush Road in Ennis.
At the Court of Criminal Appeal today council for John McGovern will appeal both the conviction and the sentence handed down by the trial judge Mr Justice Paul Carney.
