A man in his 40s is charged with assault causing harm in Cork. He appeared in court and bail was granted with conditions.
He appeared in Cork District Court on Wednesday, but legal reasons prevent naming him. He lives in County Cork and is charged with assault causing harm, violating Section 3 of the Criminal Justice Act.
Garda Patrick Houlihan cautioned him Tuesday evening. The man thanked the Gardaí for their clear actions and expressed his desire to return to his children.
In court, he wore a black jumper and dark trousers with light-colored shoes. An interpreter helped him communicate.
Judge Mary Dorgan granted bail to the man after Gardaí agreed on some rules. He must surrender his passport by 6 pm today and cannot apply for new travel papers.
He cannot contact the victim, her family, or her friends. He must avoid south Cork and Evergreen Road.
He is prohibited from consuming alcohol, and breaking these rules will result in arrest. He confirmed that he understood these conditions.
The judge set bail at €5,000, which does not require immediate payment. He must return to court on April 24.
