The DPP directed that the case against a 34-year-old man accused of causing criminal damage to the constituency office of Taoiseach Micheál Martin in Cork by daubing it with slogans can be dealt with at district court level.

Sergeant Chris Cahil charged Thomas Heising, of Frankfield Terrace, Summerhill South, Cork, with causing criminal damage.
