The accused, who was not legally represented in court, was also told he must not have any contact, directly or indirectly, including via social media, with the alleged victim
A 43-year-old man has been charged with assaulting a woman causing her harm in Salthill on Tuesday.
Clive Gaffey, with an address at Newtown Carbury, Athlone, Westmeath, appeared at Galway District Court where he was granted bail on conditions that include him not having any contact with the alleged victim.
Sergeant Joanne McGhee handed into court schedules of the accused's arrest, charge and caution.
Sgt McGhee said there was no objection to the accused being released on bail subject to him abiding by a number of conditions that had been agreed.
Judge Fiona Lydon told the accused he must reside at his current address, sign on three times a week at a Garda station, observe a daily curfew and remain alcohol free.
Gaffey, who was not legally represented in court, was also told he must not have any contact, directly or indirectly, including via social media, with the alleged victim.
He confirmed to Judge Lydon that he understood the conditions set down by the court.
Sgt McGhee told the court directions are awaited from the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) on how the case is to proceed.
Judge Lydon remanded the accused on bail to appear again on December 14.
Judge Lydon told him he should instruct a solicitor by the next court date.
In the case, Gaffey is charged that on September 22 at Salthill car-park, Salthill, he assaulted a woman causing her harm, contrary to section 3 of the Non Fatal Offences Against The Person Act, as amended by section 20 of the Criminal Justice (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2023.
