Man refused bail to support girlfriend

ONE of the men charged in relation to the fatal stabbing of a man in Mahon, Cork, in August, wanted to be released on bail yesterday to be of support to his pregnant girlfriend.

Solicitor Eddie Burke, defending, said this was the main reason Jason Quinlan, 28, wanted to be released on bail yesterday.

Quinlan is facing a charge of assault causing harm to 24-year-old Brian McKee who was injured at Ballinure Avenue, Mahon, on August 25 and died as a result of his injuries later that day.
