A Dublin man has admitted attacking his neighbour with a wooden brush and breaking his nose.
Michael Gaffney (31) struck the man several times in the face in an assault at an apartment building in the north of the city.
He was sent forward for sentence when he appeared in Dublin District Court.
Gaffney, with an address at Court View, Castle Avenue, Clontarf, is charged with assault causing harm and producing a wooden brush in the course of a dispute on May 5 last year.
A State solicitor said the DPP was consenting to the accused being sent forward to Dublin Circuit Criminal Court on a date next month.
