Refused bail to attend funeral

A Limerick man accused of threatening to kill another man and damaging property more than two years ago has been refused bail by the Special Criminal Court.

Larry McCarthy, aged 37, with addresses at Old Cork Rd and Cornmarket Villas, both in Limerick, yesterday sought bail on compassionate grounds to attend his grandmother’s funeral in Limerick. The State objected.

Mr McCarthy is charged with threatening to kill Noel Moore at Windsor House, Donoughmore, Limerick on July 28, 2015. He is also charged with threatening to damage Mr Moore’s house. The Special Criminal Court previously fixed a trial date of June 19 next year.
