Marcin Rosada of 6 Oaklandsdale, Longford, appeared charged with one count of section 3 assault on a female and three counts of section 2 assault on a number of gardaí, with further charges likely in due course.
Sgt Enda Daly, for the state, told Judge Seamus Hughes that Mr Rosada spat at gardaí on numerous occasions and that the state would be strongly objecting to bail due to the seriousness of the charges.

A man with 84 previous convictions has been convicted and fined €350 for a public order offence in February of last year.
Stephen Maguire, 29 Breadin Street, Drogheda, Co Dundalk, appeared at last week’s sitting of Longford District Court charged with public order.
Gda Ronan Duffy explained to the court that gardaí had received reports shortly after 11pm on February 10, 2020, of a male causing a disturbance at Lana Aoibheann, Longford.
When gardaí arrived, they observed the man who was highly intoxicated and banging on the doors of houses.
“His speech was slurred and he was unsteady on his feet and couldn’t compose sentences,” Gda Duffy explained.
