Bail granted for man accused of leaving Munster Joinery co-worker with fractured skull

One of the objections to bail initially was that gardaí alleged Mr Lukic had withdrawn all his money from his account following the incident and had researched methods of leaving the country

A man alleged to have held a co-worker in a headlock until he lost consciousness has been granted bail under strict conditions, including that he surrender the national identity card he uses for international travel.

Filip Lukic, a 26-year-old Croatian national who has been working in the Ballydesmond factory run by Munster Joinery, is alleged to have caused the injuries which left his co-worker, Kyle Walsh, in the high-dependency unit of Cork University Hospital.
