He is accused of false imprisonment of a named woman at St John’s Road West, Dublin 8, on September 7th. He is accused of twice perverting the course of public justice on August 28th, by allegedly creating and printing a search warrant and information for a search that occurred on June 19th at the flat in Kenilsworth Road, Dublin, 6. It is further alleged that on the same date he created an incident on the Garda Pulse system in relation to that search.

Garda Inspector Tom Cooney told the court that the defendant was arrested on the morning of March 11th at Irishtown Garda station for the purpose of being charged. Judge Aylmer heard that the accused “made no reply to any charge”.This means the case will be dealt with in the Circuit Court, which, on conviction, has wider sentencing powers.Judge Aylmer remanded the accused to appear again at the District Court on May 17th to be served with a book of evidence and returned for trial.
