Dave Mahon on trial for alleged assault tomorrow

Dave Mahon is scheduled to go on trial tomorrow for allegedly assaulting a pensioner. He appeared today in Carrick on Shannon Circuit Court. The judge was informed by Mahon's lawyer that the case is ready for trial. Judge John Aylmer set the trial to start tomorrow and it is expected to last three days. This case has faced several delays over time. Mahony, aged 53, is accused of harming Jim Fahy, who is 70 years old. This incident reportedly took place in August 2021. Mahon lives in Breffni Crescent, Carrick-on-Shannon. Last year, the court was unable to proceed because Mahon's wife, Audrey, was not well. Today, Mr. Mahon's lawyer explained that he was not in court because his wife is receiving treatment in Sligo. The judge then postponed the hearing multiple times since then.
