No bail for man accused of attacking car with slash hook in Limerick
Dean Casey (24), a man, is accused of attempting to ram a car and attacking it with a slash hook, hammer and knife on Pery Square, Limerick, on June 10, which the article places last year. He was charged with two counts of violent disorder and was reported to have been driving a silver Avensis at the time. At Limerick District Court, gardaí objected to bail, saying they did not believe he would abide by bail conditions and that a new address he gave breached his existing conditions. Judge Patricia Harney refused him bail and remanded him in custody to appear again in May.
