A Monaghan man in his 50s has been sent forward to stand trial accused of assaulting another man. The allegation ties the violence to an unpaid debt said to be owed between the two. Sending the case forward is the procedural step that moves it past the initial stage and puts it on course for a full trial. A trial date and the court that will hear the matter still have to be fixed. Details of the alleged assault itself, including when and where it happened, have stayed out of the short public record so far. The man remains entitled to the presumption of innocence until anything is proven against him at trial.
