FORMER ALL-STAR and Clare All-Ireland winning hurler Niall Gilligan was today sent forward for trial concerning an alleged “stick assault” on a 12-year-old boy.
The DPP had initially directed that the case be heard in the district court but Judge Gabbett declined district court jurisdiction in the case after hearing an outline of the State case against Mr Gilligan in July. Solicitor for Mr Gilligan, Mr Hassett told the court that the sequence of events set out by the State is not accepted by his client and “there is a complete dispute in relation to what is alleged to have happened here”.
Outlining the background to the charges against Mr Gilligan, Ms Casey said the charges relate to a matter alleged to have happened on 5 October 2023 at 5.30pm. Ms Casey stated the boy returned home on foot and was brought first to the VHI clinic and subsequently transferred to University Hospital Limerick that evening.
