Gardaí objected to bail being granted to a 23-year-old man arrested and charged with assault causing harm to another man in Cork city centre last October. Judge John King said the objection did not reach the necessary threshold for a refusal of bail and he granted bail to Martin Ekhosuehi of Willow Gardens, Brooklodge, Glanmire, County Cork. Garda Steven O'Sullivan outlined the background to the alleged incident on Sunday, October 26, at Oliver Plunkett Street, Cork. Garda O’Sullivan noted that the complainant had a cut on his chin which was bleeding. Gardaí approached this male and established his identity as Martin Ekhosuehi,” Garda O’Sullivan testified.
