Threat to kill accused granted bail to attend confirmation

Summary

Larry McCarthy, 37, of Limerick, was charged with threatening to kill Noel Moore and threatening to damage Moore's house on 28 July 2015. The State had objected to his temporary bail application, arguing that bail could prevent further serious offences. McCarthy's sister, Laura, told the court that Moore, her father‑in‑law, would not attend the confirmation. Judge Paul Butler, with Judges Alison Lindsay and Flann Brennan, weighed the danger to life and well‑being against McCarthy's liberty. He found McCarthy's application to be bona fide and that McCarthy intended to attend the confirmation. Bail was granted for 28 May from 9:30 am to 5 pm, with the condition that McCarthy not attend a licensed premises. McCarthy remained remanded in custody until 2 June, when his case was listed for mention again.
