A 45-year-old man appeared in court on Tuesday charged with endangering life by throwing a petrol bomb at a house in Cork City almost two years ago.

Sergeant Gearóid Davis said the Director of Public Prosecutions directed the case should proceed by indictment at Cork Circuit Criminal Court, or the defendant could sign a plea of guilty in Cork District Court and be sentenced at the circuit court.
