A PSYCHIATRIC report has been ordered in the case of a Clare man who pleaded guilty to five counts of indecent assault during unspecified dates in 1984.
The man who cannot be named pleaded guilty to the charges at Tuesday’s sitting of Ennis Circuit Court.
He replied guilty when charged with indecently assaulting a named male on a date between January 1 and January 31, 1984.
He made the same reply four more times, when charged with the same offence which took place on unknown dates between March 1 and March 31, 1984, between May 1 and May 31, 1984, July 1 and July 31, 1984 and October 1 and October 31, 1884.
Judge Tom O’Donnell agreed to extend the accused’s legal aid to cover the psychiatric report, when ask by the defence barrister for such a report.
The man has been remanded on bail until March 26.
