Man remanded on bail over death

A 35-year-old man charged in connection with the death of a homeless man in Naas, Co Kildare, earlier this month has been remanded on continuing bail to appear again in October. The case was adjourned pending DPP directions and the possibility of further charges.

Paul Gill with an address at Sarto Road, Naas, Co Kildare is charged with assault causing harm to Patrick ‘Patsy’ Kelly, aged 58, on August 22 at Sarto Road. At his second hearing, which took place at Cloverhill District Court yesterday, Judge Alan Mitchell ordered Mr Gill to appear again on October 9.

Mr Gill stood silently during the proceedings as his solicitor addressed the court. Judge Mitchell heard other charges were pending and Mr Gill was aware of that.
