Man arrested in Cork after loaded pistol found in car is refused bail

The solicitor for a man accused of having a loaded pistol in Cork city last week claimed there was an extra onus on a court to grant bail in light of the Covid-19 emergency.

speaking today at Cork District Court, Joseph Cuddigan said: "There is an extra onus on a court not to remand a person in custody pending hearing of the case where it is unlikely it will be heard until next year.”
