The case against a former Fianna Fáil councillor for allegedly harassing a woman in Cork city will be struck out in two months if no directions are forthcoming from the Director of Public Prosecutions.

Judge Olann Kelleher said he would strike out the case on April 26 if the DPP directions were not available.
