Ramelton man sent for trial over assault at Conway's Bar

Barry McGarvey, a 45-year-old man of Castle Street, Ramelton, has been charged with assaulting another man and causing him harm at Conway's Bar, Ramelton, on July 7, 2024. The charge is under the Non-Fatal Offences Against the Person Act 1997, as amended, and the other man is not named in the reports.

The latest development is that he is due to go before Letterkenny Circuit Court for trial.
