Assault allegation made against Kildare female school student


The girl was accompanied in court by a parent
An allegation of assault against a school student has been adjourned at Naas District Court.
The girl appeared in court accompanied by a parent.
The incident took place in the school grounds on September 18, 2024.
A previous court hearing was told that the injured party did not attend a doctor or a hospital.
There were no pictures of the injury available to the court and the defendant sustained “redness to the face”.
Solicitor David Powderly indicated that the defendant would likely plead guilty at a later hearing.
Judge Desmond Zaidan was told that the incident arose from a disagreement and the incident was confined to a single punch.
The defendant and injured party attend the same school.
Judge Zaidan said he would deal with the matter at a later date and adjourned the case to December 18 for a victim impact statement and a probation report.
