Woman was struck by a bottle in Galway city centre pub
Shane Mullane, with an address at 26 Garran Árd, Doughiska, appeared at Galway District Court, charged with a single offence contrary to section 3 of the Non Fatal Offences Against The Person Act, as amended.
It is alleged he assaulted a woman causing her harm at the Front Door Pub, Cross Street, on April 6, 2025.
Sergeant Claire Heneghan said it would be alleged that Mullane threw a glass across a dance floor and a woman suffered a laceration to her forehead.
The Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) had directed summary disposal of the case in the District Court.
After Sergeant Heneghan confirmed that the glass did not break, Judge Valerie Corcoran accepted jurisdiction to hear the case in the District Court.
"If the glass did break, I would have refused jurisdiction," she added.
Judge Corcoran assigned legal aid to solicitor Olivia Traynor and adjourned the case to June 22, when the accused is expected to indicate his attitude to the charge.
