A former Cavan-Monaghan Dáil deputy has appeared in court having been remanded on bail on charges relating to an alleged assault at his family-owned pub in 2015.
Sean Conlan had been remanded from a previous sitting of Carrickmacross District Court on 27 January on his own bail of €100.
Mr Conlan appeared briefly in court again today facing two charges relating to the incident at the licensed premises in Ballybay, Co Monaghan on 23 August 2015.
He was charged for the alleged use of a broken pint glass during the pub incident and also with assaulting Enda Duffy of Annahia, Ballybay, Co Monaghan.
Garda Inspector Kevin Gavigan, Carrickmacross, who was prosecuting, told Judge Denis McLoughlin at a previous hearing that photographs were available in relation to the injury sustained by Mr Duffy whom, he said, suffered a severe cut to his arm from a glass and required a number of stitches, following the incident.
When the case was called today Mr James McGuill, a Dundalk solicitor representing Mr Conlon, said they were endeavouring to obtain some CCTV footage which they believed could have an impact on the case. In the circumstances he said he was seeking a further adjournment.
Judge McLoughlin adjourned the case to a further sitting at Carrickmacross on 13 April, remanding Mr Conlan on his continuing bail.
