A man appeared in court in Co Galway this afternoon in connection with the discovery of a woman's body at a house at the weekend.
The woman, who was named locally as Catherine McEnery (35), of Feenagh, Co Limerick, was found dead with head injuries in the bedroom of a restored thatched cottage in Derryhoyle Mor, near Craughwell in east Galway.
Kieran Lynch (38) , from Co Limerick, appeared before Galway District Court where he was charged with assaulting Ms McEnery. He was also charged with producing the leg of a chair in the course of a fight during the same incident.
Judge Aeneus McCarthy remanded Mr Lynch in custody to appear before Harristown District Court next Friday.
