In September, Mr Davidson was released on bail but was ordered to have no contact with Mr McCartney's family.

Mr McCartney (33) was beaten and stabbed outside a city centre bar in January.

Since then his five sisters, and fiancée Bridgeen Hagans, have been involved in a high-profile campaign that has taken them to Washington, Brussels, London and Dublin.
