A young Letterkenny man is to stand trial for allegedly assaulting a pensioner causing him harm.
John McGinley appeared before Letterkenny District Court.
The 19-year-old is charged that on June 16th, 2023, at Glenwood Park, Letterkenny, he assaulted 70-year-old James Doheny causing him harm.
No details of the assault, which a previous court sitting was told took place at 5.45am, were given in court.
A book of evidence was served on solicitor Rory O’Brien on behalf of his client.
Garda Sergeant Maurice Doyle said the Director of Public Prosecutions had consented to send the accused forward for trial at the next Letterkenny Circuit Court sittings commencing on October 29th.
Mr O’Brien applied for two counsel ahead of the trial date.
Judge Eiteain Cunningham applied the alibi warning to McGinley of Glenwood Park, Letterkenny and the case was adjourned to the circuit court sitting.
