No bail for man alleged to have struck another repeatedly in face with broken bottle

Gardaí objected to bail in an assault case where it was alleged that a 48–year-old man stood over another man and struck his face repeatedly with a broken bottle in Cork city centre.

Garda Shane Coakley testified at Cork District Court today that he formally arrested and charged Paul McCarthy, of no fixed address, in Cork city with two offences arising out of an allegedly violent assault. The defendant made no reply to either charge when cautioned.
