She cannot be named for legal reasons.

Detective Garda Eamon Leen, based at the Kevin Street Divisional Protective Service, gave evidence that the accused was arrested and charged at 9:02 am on Sunday.

The court heard he made no reply to the charge, and there was no objection to bail.

However, the detective added that he was seeking conditions which Judge Jones inserted into the bail bond.

The Director of Public Prosecutions directed summary disposal at the District Court level. The court has yet to hear an outline of the facts to consider whether it will accept jurisdiction or send the case to a higher court.

No evidence was provided regarding the allegations.

The accused, who did not address the court and has yet to enter a plea, was ordered to appear again on September 8th next.

The offence, on conviction in the District Court, carries a maximum 12-month sentence, but ten years' imprisonment if the case proceeds on indictment to the Circuit Court.
