Dangerous driving charge will be dealt with at Longford Circuit Court
A young man accused of dangerous driving will have the charge against him dealt with in the Circuit Court next October.
Joseph Farrell (25) of Stonepark, Ballymaccormack, Longford faces a charge that on December 18, 2022 at Coolnahinch, Longford he drove in a dangerous manner.
Garda Glen Flanagan gave evidence of serving the Book of Evidence on the defendant on the day of the court sitting. The defendant was represented by solicitor Tom Madden.
Sergeant Mark Mahon informed Judge Bernadette Owens that the Director of Public Prosecution had requested that the matter be sent forward for trial at Longford circuit court's sitting in October.
Judge Owens consented to the DPP's direction and issued the defendant with an alibi warning, telling him that if he wished to provide an alibi he must furnish the prosecution with details of the alibi within 14 days.
The matter will go before the Longford sitting of the Circuit court on October 3, 2023. Mr Farrell was remanded on bail on his own bond of €100.
