A man who was arrested in connection with a garda pursuit which resulted in damage to two garda cars was granted consent to bail at a court.<\/p>\n
32-year-old Adam Strong of Kilcavan, Geashill, Co Laois was brought before a special sitting of Tullamore District Court this morning.<\/p>\n
He is accused of dangerous driving at Killeigh and Ballydownan in Offaly and at Clonaslee and Derryguile in Laois today.<\/p>\n
He is further accused of possession of cocaine at Derryguile on the same date.<\/p>\n
Garda\u00ed objected to bail due to the seriousness of the alleged offenses.<\/p>\n
Solicitor Gerry Maher said his client lived with his parents, was in full-time employment and had been cooperative with garda\u00ed after his arrest.<\/p>\n
Judge Michael Connellan granted the man consent to bail on his own bond of \u20ac2,000 and an independent surety of \u20ac6,500 to be approved within 24 hours by a district court judge.<\/p>\n
Bail is subject to a number of conditions including that he remain sober and of good habits, provide a number where he can be contacted, obey a curfew, sign on every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at Portlaoise Garda Station.<\/p>\n
The man was remanded in custody with consent to bail to appear again before Portlaoise District Court on 27 August.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A man who was arrested in connection with a garda pursuit which resulted in damage to two garda…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":531098,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[61,60,43],"class_list":["post-600556","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-ireland","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/600556","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=600556"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/600556\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/531098"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=600556"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=600556"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=600556"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
