Judge bans teen accused of assault from Kerry town

A teenage fisherman from Valentia Island, accused of an assault, has been ordered by a court to stay “completely out” of neighbouring Kerry town Cahirciveen until the DPP gives a direction in the matter.

The court order was made after it emerged details of an incident in the town’s Main Street on July 10 had been uploaded on social media.

Darragh Murphy, aged 19, of Ballymanagh, Valentia, appeared before the district court in Killarney accused of assaulting Martin O’Sullivan, causing him harm.
