Jeffrey Kelly, 44, of Sheephill Avenue, Blan-chardstown, Dublin, is accused of attacking Joseph Morgan, who suffered “life-changing injuries” on September 10.

He appeared at Dublin District Court but had bail denied by Judge Catherine Ghent on Saturday.

Defence solicitor Michael Kelleher said his client denies the allegations.
