Two remanded over rape of woman at Galway train station
Two men charged with raping a woman in the car park of Ceannt Railway Station in Galway last week have been further remanded in custody.
Two men, aged 27 and 25, have been further remanded in custody following their arrest for the rape of a woman at Galway train station's car park on August 1st. The men appeared via video link at Galway District Court, where proceedings were explained with the assistance of an interpreter. They are charged with rape, contrary to section 48 of the Offences Against The Person Act, and falsely imprisoning the victim under section 15 of the Non Fatal Offences Against The Person Act.
The State is seeking a two-week remand to obtain further guidance from the Director of Public Prosecutions on the case's progression. The accused's counsel, Liam Carroll BL, informed the court that the case will be adjourned to August 25th, and his solicitor is attempting to arrange a consultation with the men in prison.
