Sentencing date for man convicted of ‘vicious unprovoked attack’

A young man who was wanted for a vicious assault in the city centre was arrested and brought before Cork District Court yesterday.

Curtis Keniry of City Park House, Sullivan’s Quay, Cork, was convicted in his absence earlier this month at Cork District for the unprovoked assault.

Keniry, aged 20, should have appeared before Judge Marie Keane on January 4 for a hearing of the assault case. He did not appear, and Judge Keane heard the evidence, convicted him of assault, and issued a warrant for his arrest.
