A man who injured a garda who intervened in a row between him and his father has been given five months to come up with compensation to indicate how sorry he is.
Darren Leech of 28 College Hill, Mullingar was told to consider carefully what kind of compensation might be in order if the garda, who received a serious injury to his finger, was to pursue a civil case.
He had €750 in court and will appear again on May 7. There is an eleven month sentence in place for the offence.
