A 39-year-old Kanturk man facing an aggravated burglary charge arising out of an alleged offence at a house in Mayfield last August applied to have his case struck out on Monday.

Malcolm Kelly of Coolageela, Kanturk, County Cork, appeared at Cork District Court by video link from prison. His solicitor Eimear Griffin applied for the case to be struck out, or failing that, to be made peremptory against the State for the next occasion.
