• Man charged with assault causing harm granted bail variation in Longford Assault causing harm · Co. Longford

  A man in his 30s was stabbed during a public order incident involving about 20 people in the Chapel Lane area of Longford town on the night of 28 or 29 January 2026 at about 8.15pm, and was treated at Mater Misericordiae Hospital in Dublin for serious but non-life-threatening injuries. Slovakian man Martin Grundza, aged 29 or 30, was arrested on 2 February 2026 and charged under section 3 of the Non Fatal Offences Against the Person Act. He appeared at Longford District Court on 3 February, made no reply to the charge, and was granted bail on his own bond of €2,500 with conditions including a curfew from 10pm to 6am and staying out of Longford town. In October 2026, Grundza applied to vary his bail conditions to return to his mother's house in Longford, and in November 2026 Judge Bernadette Owens granted the variation, allowing him to return to 47 Lana Aoibhinn with conditions to sign on at Longford Garda Station on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
