A book of evidence is to be prepared on a man accused of assault causing harm to two prison officers as the accused said by video link from prison that this was "not okay" for him and that he wanted to go home.

Judge Mary Dorgan refused jurisdiction to deal with the case at Cork District Court. It involves two counts of assault causing harm and now a book of evidence will have to be prepared.
