Prosecuting counsel asked for the case to be adjourned for receipt of outstanding papers.

Adjourning the case until July 22, District Judge Conor Heaney made it a condition of bail that Mullan resides at an address in Dunleath Avenue, Cookstown, and does not have any contact with the alleged injured party.

The judge excused Mullan from attending the next hearing, but advised him to stay in touch with his solicitor.
