Case No. 17883Assault · Co. Kildare

Man accused of assault after road blockage in Kildare town

Gardaí told Naas District Court that Nicu Carp, a 29-year-old man, struck another person in Kildare town after an argument over a road blockage on the Meadow Road. The incident was said to have occurred on April 16 last, a date that conflicts with the March 2024 publication date. The injured person allegedly fell backwards, was cut on the back of the head needing stitches, and was knocked unconscious, but made a full recovery. At the first hearing on Thursday, March 14 last, the DPP sought summary disposal, the judge accepted jurisdiction, and Mr Carp was remanded on continuing bail. The latest development is that the case was adjourned to July 4 for hearing.

    Kildare court: Man blocking road led to alleged altercation

    Court report on the accused's first appearance: the judge accepted jurisdiction, the matter was to be dealt with by summary disposal, the case was adjourned to July 4 for hearing, and Mr Carp was remanded on continuing bail. The article gives the incident date as 'April 16 last', which conflicts with its publication date, so no incident date is recorded.
