Dessie O’Hare bailed on assault, false imprisonment charges

Dessie O’Hare has been remanded on bail pending a decision on whether he will be tried in the Special Criminal Court on charges of assault, violent disorder, and the false imprisonment of three people in Dublin.

Mr O’Hare, 61, with an address at Slaterock Rd, Newtownhamilton, Co Armagh, was charged last week and was remanded in custody, with consent to bail in his own bond of €100 and a €20,000 independent surety.

He faced a hearing yesterday, when he appeared again before Judge Alan Mitchell, at Dublin District Court. Judge Mitchell noted, from defence solicitor Ciaran Mulholland, that Mr O’Hare has taken up bail.
