Case No. 15806Assault

Alleged neighbour assault and shoe taking over snoring row

Ismail Tamar, a 41-year-old man, has been accused of assaulting his neighbour, Mouro Di Dio, an injured man, after a row over loud snoring between the two men's neighbouring flats on a Wednesday morning. Gardaí allege that Tamar tried to strike Di Dio with a wooden stick, that Di Dio suffered ligament damage to one hand, and that Tamar took one of his shoes. Tamar was charged with assault causing harm and appeared before Judge Monika Leech at Dublin District Court, where bail was refused and he was remanded in custody pending DPP directions on whether the case stays in the District Court or goes to the Circuit Court. Legal aid has since been granted to Tamar, who is due to appear in court again the following week.
