Man charged with stabbing in West Cork remanded in continuing custody
Bas Mulders, who has an address on Western Road, Clonakilty, appeared before a sitting of Bandon District Court on Monday. The 54-year-old appeared on two charges — assault causing harm and producing an article in the course of a dispute.
Appearing before Judge Joanna Carroll, Mr Mulders was represented by solicitor Conrad Murphy.
The State applied for a continuing remand in custody, by consent, unless he is granted bail in the meantime by the High Court.
He is accused of stabbing another man with a knife during an argument at a location in Clonakilty in the early hours of Tuesday, July 22.
He was denied bail at district court level last Friday, when gardaí objected on the grounds that they had serious concerns that he could coerce or intimidate a witness and/or the alleged injured party. There was also a risk he could flee the jurisdiction, the court was told on Friday.
Judge Joanne Carroll agreed to the State's application for a remand in continuing custody, until August 7, via video link. If granted bail by the High Court, he is to appear in court in person.
Mr Murphy applied for free legal aid for his client, which was granted by Judge Carroll.

‘I got f***ed over' - Conor McGregor ex-pal claims he ‘completely turned on me'
Conor McGregor's ex-teammate and old pal Artem Lobov has claimed he was 'f***ed over' by the former UFC Champion in a multi-million euro deal. He is hoping to get acknowledgement for what he claims was his role in developing McGregor's previously owned whiskey brand, with a case being brought before the High Court. McGregor is set to return to the High Court this December, a year after losing a civil action for sexual assault taken against him by Nikita Hand, with Lobov claiming McGregor promised him a 5% stake in his Proper No 12 whiskey brand. McGregor sold the whiskey brand to Proximo Spirits in 2021 in a deal worth up to €520m, while the former two-weight UFC Champion is thought to have earned at least €150m for his stake. Artem Lobov is bringing a case against his former friend and teammate. In it, he claims McGregor promised him a 5% stake in the company and believes he is owed between €6.5m and €7m. The High Court has previously heard that Mr McGregor denies Mr Lobov's claim and says that in one message sent by him (Lobov), he stated that he did not want anything from the deal. In a replying affidavit previously reported on, Mr McGregor's solicitor, Michael Staines, said his client was denying Mr Lobov's allegations. He also said that while Mr Lobov had provided the texts of certain messages to the court, he had not included one from February 2019 in which Mr Lobov stated: "I swear on my child's life I will NOT take a cent from the whiskey deal". The Russian-Irish fighter is due to make his in-ring return later this year and appeared on The Ariel Helwani Show to discuss his situation. 'Unfortunately, things are not good between me and Conor,' Lobov told show host Helwani. 'We always had each other's backs. I feel I showed him much loyalty. I would dare him to name from all of his mates someone who was more loyal to him than I was. I did everything for him. Whenever we did camps, I was the only one to never accepted a cent from him.' Conor McGregor and Artem Lobov in 2015 Lobov told Helwani that 'the agreement had always been if I helped him with business and helped him make money, then he's going to give me my cut, ' and cited an example where he said that McGregor paid Lobov €20,000 for brokering an agreement with a Russian TV station despite the expected fee to be a lower sum of €6,000 as an example of the previously good working relationship between the pair. Lobov, who has a Master's degree in Business from DCU, claimed that he worked alongside industry experts in developing the brand and pushing for a better deal for McGregor. 'I was fighting for every cent for Conor,' he continued. 'Unfortunately, I did get f***ed over on this deal even though Conor shook my hand and promised me 5% no matter what, but I guarantee you I can't wait to be in court. 'I cannot leave this like this; this is too big a story to just let it die out in obscurity. 'Me, Conor's brother, who was always loyal and never took a cent from Conor, he wouldn't pay me my share as was promised. I put the biggest piece of meat on Conor's table, and he wouldn't cut me a tiny little slice, so my family could eat too.' Lobov says that he wants acknowledgement for what he described as the 'incredible' amount of work he did to get the whiskey to market. After selling his stake in 2021, McGregor served as an ambassador for Proper Number 12 Whiskey but was dropped from that role after damages were awarded against him for sexual assault last year. There is no use of his name, face, or likeness in relation to Proper No Twelve anymore, and McGregor's image has been largely wiped from their social media and marketing.

'Sound': Man accused over garda stabbing speaks via video-link as court awaits DPP decision
A 23-YEAR-OLD man charged over the stabbing of a Garda on a Dublin street last week has agreed to stay in prison for another four weeks pending directions from the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP). Abdullah Khan replied 'sound' in Cloverhill District Court today when told that his next hearing was set for 3 September and that he was going to have a further consultation with his legal team. Mr Khan, with an address in north Dublin that cannot be reported by court order, was arrested at the scene following an incident at around 6pm on Capel Street in the city's north side on 29 July. He appeared before Judge Patricia Cronin today for his second court appearance, having been held in custody with no bail application on 31 July. Appearing via video link, seated and wearing a grey sweatshirt, he confirmed to his solicitor Katie Dowling that he consented to being further remanded in custody pending the DPP's decision on the case. He initially said, 'That's all right,' 'Yeah, yeah,' and 'Thank you' when his case was called early and put to second calling. When it resumed, he spoke up to give his surname and confirmed to his solicitor, Katie Dowling, 'I can hear you'. It was explained to him that the matter was listed for mention, and he answered, 'Yeah'. Judge Cronin noted the DPP's directions were not yet available. Detective Sergeant Liam McLaughlin, of the Bridewell Station, informed the court that he was applying for a four-week remand if there was consent. Advertisement During later exchanges with Ms Dowling, Mr Khan was informed that the directions were not available and he was entitled to apply for bail at any stage. The defence solicitor also explained that the State was asking for another four weeks for those directions, and he could consent to a two-week adjournment, but it was unlikely that they would be available. Or, she added that he could agree to a four-week adjournment. 'On consent to the four weeks,' he replied. Judge Cronin remanded him in continuing custody, noting that a video link appearance was acceptable on the next date. At the end of the hearing, his solicitor advised him that he had a video link consultation arranged for that night, adding, 'we will be able to discuss the matter in more detail at that stage', to which Mr Khan replied, 'Sound'. Ms Dowling also advised him that if he wished to apply for bail, he could do so at any time once gardaí have been notified in advance. The injured garda, a young probationary member of the force who was on high-visibility patrol with a colleague, received hospital treatment for non-life-threatening injuries. The accused man is charged with assault causing harm to the officer and the production of a Tactix knife capable of causing serious injury. He has yet to indicate a plea to the charges, which are under section 3 of the Non-Fatal Offences Against the Person Act and section 11 of the Firearms and Offensive Weapons Act. At the first court appearance on Thursday, the defence secured reporting restrictions on the publication of Mr Khan's address, due to 'concerns around safety', which was confirmed by Detective Sergeant McLaughlin. Medical attention in custody was also ordered, and legal aid was granted.
