Man charged with attempted sexual assault of young woman

Summary

A 49‑year‑old man, James Donohoe of Harold's Cross Road, Dublin, was remanded in custody after being charged with assault causing harm and attempted sexual assault against a woman in her twenties on Effra Road, Rathmines. He was brought before Judge Michael Walsh at Dublin District Court, where he initially declined a solicitor and a court‑appointed lawyer, but later accepted solicitor Lorraine Stephens. Garda Ciaran O'Mahony testified that Donohoe did not respond to the first charge and said, "I am not going to plead to that," when the second charge was presented. The court directed that Donohoe receive psychiatric treatment while in custody and that he be granted legal aid. A file will be sent to the DPP, and the next hearing is scheduled for 14 January at Cloverhill District Court. The case remains pending.
