Central Criminal Court
A man with an address in south Donegal is to face trial in the Central Criminal Court for the alleged rape of a female.

It is alleged that he raped the female at an address in south Donegal in December 2020.
The offence is contrary to Section 48 Offences Against the Person Act 1861 and Section 2 of the Criminal Law (Rape) Act, 1981 as amended by section 21 of the Criminal Way (Rape) (Amendement) Act, 1990.
