    Man accused of Louth stabbing due back in court after bail refused

    First court report. The article gives the incident date as Friday March 30th, but that conflicts with the 24 March publication date and the Saturday court sitting, so the date is unverified. Bail was refused and the accused was remanded in custody to appear by videolink at Dundalk District Court the next day, with medical attention directed.
