Greystones man and a Dublin rapper have both been granted bail having appeared before separate courts over an alleged assault and a burglary.

Sam McDonald (19) of Kindlestown Park and Dylan Kelly (28) of Rowan Hamilton House, Shankill, appeared before Bray and Arklow District Courts.

According to Darragh McCann in today’s Bray People, it is alleged that McDonald entered a house in Druids Brook, Kilcoole on July 7th and attempted to commit, the court was told, an arrestable offence, namely assault.

He was also accused of possessing cocaine and cannabis at the home address of the co-accused on July 12th, and faces a further charge of obstructing gardaí as they attempted to carry out a warrant.

Greystones Garda Station’s Brian Shiggins told the court that gardaí were not objecting to bail as conditions had been agreed, whilst also noting that legal representatives for the accused could not be secured due to ongoing legal aid withdrawals.

The bail conditions granted by Judge Andy Gubbins for Mr McDonald including staying out of Kilcoole, having no contact with witnesses, providing gardaí with a home address, and remaining contactable by phone 24 hours a day.

Listed as a rapper and social media personality, and facing one count of assault causing harm, Mr Kelly was granted bail on similar conditions.
