The man was before Letterkenny Circuit Court, where he tendered a guilty plea during a brief hearing
A man has pleaded guilty to an assault causing harm to a woman on St Patrick’s Day in Letterkenny.
George Boyce appeared at Letterkenny Circuit Court, where he was formally arraigned before Judge John Aylmer.
The 38-year-old, of Fernhill, Letterkenny, pleaded guilty to unlawfully assaulting a woman and causing her harm at an address in Letterkenny.
The incident occurred on March 17, 2022.
Boyce spoke only to plead guilty when the charge was put to him in court.
Ms Fiona Crawford BL, barrister for Boyce, told the court that her client had never been in trouble with the Gardai before.
Ms Crawford asked for a probation and welfare report on behalf of Boyce.
Judge Aylmer said a probation and welfare report should include the accused’s suitability for community service.
The case was adjourned until the October session of Letterkenny Circuit Court.
