Hollywood actor Jim Carrey is set to face trial accused of supplying the drugs that killed his ex-girlfriend.
The mother of Cathriona White, who was from Cappawhite in Tipperary, is suing the 55-year-old star claiming he provided the drugs used in her suicide.
The Truman Show actor has denied all charges and his lawyer had filed a motion to dismiss the case.
However, an LA judge denied the motion and said the trial would last 20 days, setting a trial date of April 26 next.

The judge said she would send her final ruling on Carrey’s motion to strike to lawyers in due course but indicated she would side with the prosecution at least in part.
