A Letterkenny man has pleaded guilty to the assault of another man at Leck Cottages in the town.<\/p>\n
Paddy Boyle appeared at Letterkenny Circuit Court where he pleaded guilty to the charge.<\/p>\n
The 50-year-old accused man pleaded guilty to assaulting James Maloney at Leck Cottages on January 11th, 2023.<\/p>\n
Barrister for the accused, Mr Sean McGee, said Mr Boyle has been in custody since Christmas when he took a bench warrant.<\/p>\n
He added that his client is a man with a significant history of substance and alcohol misuse.<\/p>\n
He added that his client was doing well in custody, was attending counselling and asked the court to consider a Probation Report.<\/p>\n
Mr McGee said he has a second application as his client suffers from bi-polar, as well as anxiety and stress and that he was seeking a psychiatric assessment.<\/p>\n
Judge John Aylmer said this could be dealt with in the Probation Report and the case was adjourned until the next sitting of Letterkenny Circuit Court.<\/p>\n
