A Newcastle man accused of assaulting two men in the city centre has been sent forward for trial.
Garda Paul McNulty gave evidence at Monday’s sitting of the Galway District Court of serving the book of evidence on Mark McNeill with an address at 55 Camillaun Park, Newcastle.
The 22-year-old is accused of assaulting Michael Loughrey, causing him harm, at Williamsgate Street and of assaulting Johnathan Kent, causing him harm, at Eyre Square on May 23, 2009.
Inspector Pat McHugh informed the court that the DPP has consented to the accused being sent forward for trial on these two charges.
The court later heard that two further offences, namely being intoxicated in a public place and threatening and abusive behaviour at Eyre Square on the same date, may be added to the book of evidence at a later stage.
Judge Mary Fahy made the order to have McNeill returned for trial to the next sitting of Galway Circuit Court commencing April 27 next. McNeill was then remanded on continuing bail on his own bond of €350. The two public order offences have been adjourned to May 17 for mention.
