Portlaoise District Court
A book of evidence is being prepared in relation to an alleged assault on a woman in Laois.
A man (32) with a Laois address is accused of assaulting a woman causing harm at a location in Laois on December 1, 2025. He is further accused of the unlawful taking of a vehicle at the same location on the same date.
The man appeared before a sitting of Portlaoise District Court via video link. Solicitor Barry Fitzgerald informed him that “the DPP has directed trial on indictment which means it goes to the circuit court”.
Judge Andrew Cody adjourned the case to Portlaoise District Court on March 26 by consent for service of the book of evidence. The defendant was remanded in custody.
