A man charged in connection with stabbing two pigs at a property earmarked for international protection applicants is to face trial by judge and jury in the circuit court.
Those offences are contrary to Section 12 and and Section 52 of the animal health and welfare act 2013. Defence solicitor Fiona D’Arcy told the court that a Book of Evidence is required and the court presenter said the book of evidence is ready. Those conditions include signing on at Swords Garda Station twice a week; notify gardai of a change of residential address and to stay away from all International Protection Accommodation sites.
It was announced earlier last year that part of the 156 acre site, owned by the Department of Justice, would be utilised for “emergency-style” tents due to the ongoing accommodation crisis to house up to 1,000 male asylum seekers.
