A man has gone on trial this week accused of assaulting another man in Longford town almost a year and a half ago
A man has gone on trial this week accused of assaulting another man in Longford town almost a year and a half ago.
Martin Stokes, of 88 Springlawn, Longford has pleaded not guilty to a Section 3 assault causing harm to Gerald Stokes on September 11 2016.
Mr Stokes, who was wearing a beige jumper and beige trousers, did not address a sitting of Longford Circuit Court last Thursday, only to confirm that he was pleading guilty to the charge made against him.
A jury was consequently sworn in before Judge John Hannon ahead of what is expected to be a four day trial that was expected to get underway on Tuesday.
