A Tuam man who is charged with assaulting a female Garda and giving her a bloody nose and a split lip is to be sent forward to the Circuit Criminal Court for his case to be heard.
When the case was called at Tuam District Court Judge James Faughnan asked for a synopsis of the charges to be outlined for him to decide if he would hear the case or if it should be sent to a higher court.
Garda Sgt Christy Brown (prosecuting ) said the Garda, in the course of her duty, had been assaulted and she suffered a bloody nose and a split lip.
Judge Faughnan refused jurisdiction and adjourned the matter until the June 23 sitting of Tua Court. No further details were presented to the court.
Strict bail conditions were imposed on the defendant. He was ordered to observe a curfew from 10pm to 7am, sign on at Tuam Garda Station every Monday and Friday and abstain from drugs and alcohol.
