A Longford man has appeared at a special sitting of Longford District Court charged with an alleged serious assault on his female partner, the Leader can reveal.
The 35-year-old was brought before the court this morning following an alleged disturbance at a house in the Ardnacassa area during the early hours of St Steohens' Day.
It's understood the victim sustained a number of facial injuries and was hospitalised as a result.
Garda sources have confirmed they attended the scene of an alleged 'serious' assault and formally launched an investigation into the incident.
