A judge has granted bail set at €5,000 to a man in relation to a crash on Oakpark Road in Tralee.

Ioan Plumb (30) of Pluckeen, Caherslee, Tralee appeared in Listowel District Court on Thursday.

He was charged with dangerous driving causing serious bodily harm on October 1 and was represented in court by solicitor Brendan Ahern.

Inspector Tim O’Keefe laid out the conditions of his bail.

He is to sign in at Tralee Garda Station every Monday, Wednesday and Sunday at a time between 7am to 12am. He is also to provide a working phone number and be contactable at all times.

He is also to reside at Pluckeen, Caherslee, and notify gardaí of any chance of address.

Mr Plumb's travel documents are already held by An Garda Síochána, his solicitor told the court. A cash bond of €5,000 was provided.

Judge Waters noted the defendant would likely be tried on indictment. Inspector O’Keefe noted that instructions from the Director of Public Prosecutions could require time.

The case was adjourned to Listowel District Court on October 16.
