A man and woman charged with being armed with a baton and a knife during an alleged aggravated burglary at the apartment of two Spanish women in Dundalk have been denied bail.
Judge Ciaran Liddy heard one woman was hospitalised following a blow to her head with a piece of wood and threats were made to stab a second woman in the same apartment.
Alan Bird, 33, of Tain Court, Bridge St, Dundalk and Grace Flanagan, 34, from Grange Close, Muirhevnamor, Dundalk, Co. Louth, appeared at Dublin District Court on Monday.
