He faces a single charge of unlawfully and maliciously wounding a man with intent to do him grievous bodily harm on January 25 this year. Granlesse said he understood the charge.

A Prosecutor said that, based on the papers before the court, she submitted there is a prima facie case with no contrary submissions from the defence.

District Judge Michael Ranaghan said he had read the papers and is satisfied there is a prima facie case to answer.

Granlesse declined to say anything or submit anything in writing in relation to the charges.

District Judge Ranaghan sent Granlesse for trial to Craigavon Crown Court with arraignment on January 15 next year.

He was released on his own bail of £300.
