The accused is also charged with possession of an offensive weapon, namely a knife similar to a Stanley, with a sliding blade which had a blade or was sharply pointed at Cashel Park, Letterkenny on October 6, 2019.

Solicitor Mr Donough Cleary told the court that he had no communication from McGrath.

Judge Murphy issued a warrant for McGrath’s arrest and put the matters back to the November 8 sitting of the court.
