Summary

The trial of 27‑year‑old footballer Anthony Stokes, accused of assaulting 42‑year‑old Anthony Bradley at Buck Whaleys nightclub in June 2013, has been adjourned again to later in the year. The adjournment follows the unavailability of an essential witness who is immobilised due to back problems. The case, originally set for last year, was postponed because no judges were available. Judge Melanie Greally scheduled a new trial date for 22 November and remanded Stokes on continuing bail.
