Cork man accused of attacking woman cycling to cleaning job

Having case adjourned peremptorily against the prosecution would mean it could be struck out if the State did not have instructions from the DPP by the next occasion.

A 28-year-old man — who is accused of attacking a 50-year-old woman cycling to her cleaning job in the early hours of the morning — spoke up in court by video-link from prison asking for his case to be marked as peremptory against the State.

Stephen Mahon, of Greenwood Estate, Togher, Cork, made the interjection as his case was adjourned until July 26.
