• Assault charge against Offaly man struck out at Portlaoise court Assault causing harm · Co. Laois

  James Mulligan (30), of Clonbullogue, Co Offaly, was accused of assault causing harm to a woman at an apartment above Rhythm N Booze on Spa Street, Portarlington, Co Laois, on March 14, 2025. The matter had been listed for DPP directions, but Gardaí said directions were not available and that the State would look for another six weeks, citing a counter allegation. The solicitor applied for the charge to be struck out, and Judge Susan Fay struck it out at Portlaoise District Court, saying it could be re-entered. Reports of the ruling were published on 2 and 3 February 2026.
