A 63-year-old Cork man accused of attacking his sleeping wife with boiling water and a claw hammer failed in his appeal to the High Court for bail and was remanded in custody for a further fortnight.

Sergeant Aisling Murphy said at Cork District Court on Tuesday that the Director of Public Prosecutions had not yet given directions on the case.
