Ireland Man granted bail over alleged verbal attack on Fianna Fáil canvassers in Limerick
Aaron Daly, a 37-year-old man of Blackthorn Drive, Caherdavin, Limerick, is alleged to have verbally attacked canvassers for Fianna Fáil candidate Suzzie O'Deniyi in Limerick City; one report gives the incident date as May 12, and the other does not state one. Gardaí arrested and charged him at a Garda station on May 19 with two counts under Section 6 of the Criminal Justice (Public Order) Act 1994, and he made no reply. On Monday, May 20, 2024, Judge Patricia Harney at Limerick District Court granted him bail with Garda consent on strict conditions, including no contact with the candidate or her campaign team. He is due back before Limerick District Court on September 6 for a plea or a hearing date.
