A 24-year-old Limerick man has been remanded in custody over an alleged assault on the younger brother of former city alderman, Michael Kelly.
Mr Simon Casey of Clonlong was charged with assault.
A special sitting of Limerick District Court was told the two men's families have been involved in a feud for the past two years.
Mr Kelly was allegedly attacked on Jail Boreen road near Limerick city centre at 11.30 a.m.
Gardaí arrested two men earlier after a confrontation broke out between a group which had come to Roxborough Garda Station to report the incident and another rival group. Both men were charged with public order offences and released.
Last month, Anthony Kelly was involved in the exhumation of the body of his brother, Michael Kelly, at Mount St Oliver Cemetery in Limerick.
The former Limerick Alderman had died in hospital in early June after
suffering a gunshot wound several weeks earlier.
The Kelly family maintained he had not taken his own life and exhumed his body to successfully disprove allegations that the gun involved was buried in the coffin.
