Garda accused of harassing woman brought before court

A garda accused of harassing a woman has been brought before Dublin Circuit Criminal Court on foot of a bench warrant after he failed to appear yesterday.

Garda Donal Maguire is charged with harassing a woman in Dublin on dates in 2012 and early last year.

The father-of-four, formerly of Millbrook Avenue, in Kilbarrack, Dublin, but living now in Bundoran, Co Donegal, has been remanded in custody until his next court appearance in November.

The court heard the 38-year-old told the Inspector who arrested him at his mother's home in Bundoran that he did not have the money to travel to court in Dublin.
