Man charged with sexually assaulting girl defers bail application

A 26-year-old man, who was charged in connection with the alleged sexual assault of a 10-year-old girl in Dublin in the early hours of Monday morning, has deferred applying for bail.

His defence solicitor told the court there would be no application for bail on Wednesday, but reserved the right to make such an application at a later date.

The judge, Alan Mitchell, said that notice of 48 hours must be given ahead of any bail application.

The man cannot be named because of the Republic of Ireland’s rules around sexual assault cases.

The judge granted an application that a report be carried out on the fitness of the accused to be tried.

He directed that medical and psychiatric assessments be carried out on the accused and that he be offered appropriate medical treatment as required.

The accused spoke in court through an interpreter and was remanded in custody to appear again via videolink at Cloverhill District Court on 5 November.
