Appeal linked to Sargent resignation 'a matter of some delicacy'
A man's appeal of an assault conviction at the centre of a dispute, which triggered the resignation of former Junior Minister Trevor Sargent, was described today as “a matter of some delicacy” and adjourned until October.
Travel agency worker Dominic McGowan (aged 31), a constituent of Mr Sargent in north Co Dublin, became embroiled in a row with neighbour Stephen Mulvany (aged 35) in September 2007.
