A man in his 30s has been before the courts charged in connection with an alleged assault of a woman campaigning for Catherine Connolly in the Presidential Election in north Dublin last week.
Daniel Soave, with an address at Portland Row in Dublin, appeared at Dublin District Court charged with one count of assault causing harm and two counts of threatening, abusive behaviour.
Garda Colm Maguire from Store Street Garda Station told the court that he arrested the accused for the purposes of charging him just before 6pm yesterday evening.
The court heard that the 39-year-old made no reply when the two charges of threatening and abusive behaviour were put to him.
Garda Maguire said gardaí were not objecting to bail but wanted certain conditions attached.
The court was told Daniel Soave must sign on in a garda station twice a week, provide his phone number to gardaí, notify them if he changes address, and not to engage with any campaigners in the Dublin 1 area.
Judge Derek Cooney granted bail, and also told the accused that he was not to contact any witnesses in the case and not to post anything online about it.
Daniel Soave's barrister told the court that his client was working and would be applying for legal aid.
He is due back before the courts in December.
