An 18-year-old man has appeared in court charged in connection with a serious assault which left a 29-year-old man in a critical condition in hospital.
Jordan Deasy of Ravensdale, Heron's Road in Carrigaline, Co Cork appeared before Cork District Court where he was charged with assault causing harm to a 29-year-old man in the Glenwood area of Carrigaline on 28 December.
Detective Garda Declan Healy gave evidence of arrest, charge and caution.
He said that Mr Deasy made no reply when the charge was put to him at Togher Garda Station on the southside of Cork city at 10.30pm on Saturday.
Det Garda Healy objected to bail on a number of grounds including the seriousness of the charge.
Defence solicitor Diane Hallahan said that her client was willing to meet stringent bail conditions such as signing on daily, residing at his home address and being contactable to gardaí by phone around the clock.
She said that the accused was also willing to obey a curfew.
However, Det Garda Healy indicated that that he wouldn’t be satisfied with such measures.
Judge John King said that the objections to bail in the case were "well founded."
He remanded the accused in custody until his next court appearance at Cork District Court on 5 January.
Mr Deasy will appear by video link on that occasion and DPP directions on the case are expected on that date.
Meanwhile, the victim in the case remains in Cork University Hospital where he underwent emergency surgery following the incident on Wednesday night.
The attack occurred shortly before 6pm on Wednesday with the man being treated by paramedics at the scene before he was rushed by ambulance to hospital.
