Dublin District Court<\/a> on Thursday.<\/p>\nHe was ordered to appear again in December for prosecutors to serve him with a book of evidence.<\/p>\n
Det Sgt Kieran Kilcoyne, of the Garda Anti-Corruption Unit, , told Judge Kelly the accused was arrested on September 26th at Lucan Garda station in Dublin.<\/p>\n
He was charged with a single offence, and he made no reply.<\/p>\n
Mr O\u2019Neill is accused of requesting a third party, a prosecuting garda, to deliberately interfere with a District Court prosecution, with the intent to pervert the course of justice.<\/p>\n
The incident is alleged to have taken place between October 25th and December 13th, 2018.<\/p>\n
Det Sgt Kilcoyne stated said the accused was on station bail and, therefore, there would be no application for bail conditions.<\/p>\n
Defence solicitor Liz Hughes said there was consent to a lengthy adjournment and whatever time was required for the State to complete the book of evidence.<\/p>\n
Judge Kelly noted the Director of Public Prosecutions directed that Mr O\u2019Neill would face trial on indictment in the Circuit Court.<\/p>\n
No plea was entered by the accused, who spoke only to confirm he was in court while stepping forward when his case was called.<\/p>\n
Judge Kelly ordered him to appear on December 12th to be served with a book of evidence and returned for trial.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A garda has been charged with interfering with a District Court prosecution with the intent to pervert the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":17851,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[40],"tags":[9,10,8301,18,13,14,8030,6,19,17,11,12,15,16,5,7,8],"class_list":{"0":"post-99660","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-ireland","8":"tag-breaking-news","9":"tag-breakingnews","10":"tag-dublin-district-court","11":"tag-eire","12":"tag-featured-news","13":"tag-featurednews","14":"tag-garda-siochana","15":"tag-headlines","16":"tag-ie","17":"tag-ireland","18":"tag-latest-news","19":"tag-latestnews","20":"tag-main-news","21":"tag-mainnews","22":"tag-news","23":"tag-top-stories","24":"tag-topstories"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/99660","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=99660"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/99660\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17851"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=99660"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=99660"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=99660"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
