A Limerick man accused of threatening to kill another man has been granted bail to attend a family Confirmation. Larry McCarthy (37), with addresses in Limerick, is charged with threatening to kill Noel Moore at Windsor House, Donoughmore, Limerick, on July 28th last. He is also charged with threatening to damage Mr Moore’s house.
The State objected to Mr McCarthy’s temporary bail application in the Special Criminal Court. Det Sgt John Cleary said gardaí were objecting to bail to “prevent the commission of further serious offences”.
The accused man’s sister, Laura McCarthy, told the court Noel Moore, who is her father-in-law, would not be attending the Confirmation. Mr Justice Paul Butler said the court was satisfied that Mr McCarthy’s application was “bona fide” and that he intended to attend the Confirmation.
The court granted bail for May 28th from 9.30am until 5pm on condition Mr McCarthy is not to attend a licensed premises.
