A Buncrana man is to stand trial charged with assaulting two people during an incident in Letterkenny.

Kevin Grant is charged with two counts of assault causing harm on Main Street in Letterkenny on September 23, 2023.

Grant, aged 36 and from Hilltown in Buncrana, appeared at Letterkenny District Court.

Garda Sergeant Jim Collins told the court that the Director of Public Prosecutions had consented for the accused to be sent forward for trial to the next sitting of Letterkenny Circuit Court commencing on May 5th.

Grant was released on bail with a number of conditions.

They include that he must not socialise in Letterkenny, must surrender his passport and must sign on at his local Garda station.

The case was adjourned to Letterkenny Circuit Court on May 5.
