Edgeworthstown man arrested and brought before Longford District court

An Edgeworthstown man before the court on a charges of assault was arrested on foot of a bench warrant and brought before Longford District Court.

33 year old Justin Curran of Bracklin Road, Edgeworthstown, Longford, currently stands charged with three counts of assault causing harm and one count of assault. The alleged incidents are reported to have occurred in Fays Pub on Main Street Granard on December 26, 2025.

Mr Curran also stands charged with one count of being intoxicated in a public place, and one count of using or engaging in “threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour.”

Both incidents are alleged to have taken place on Main Street Granard also on December 26, 2025.

Garda Stephen Brehany of Longford Garda Station took to the stand to confirm having executed the arrest warrant on Mr Curran that morning. The warrant was issued after he failed to appear for previous court appearances.

When asked why the accused had not attended court on September 8 and 20, solicitor Adrian Gillick explained that his client had simply not been in the jurisdiction on the dates in question.

Court Sergeant Mark Mahon said there was no objection to bail from Gardaí.

As the case is affected by the withdrawal of services, the matter was adjourned until January. Mr Curran was remanded on his own bond of €200.
