Legal Aid Crisis Rocks Bail Hearing | Belfast News

A 29-year-old man, Nathan Kenna, faces assault charges tied to a fatal July 3rd attack that killed a 40-year-old man, Anthony Long. Kenna’s bail hearing hit a snag due to a nationwide legal aid crisis — solicitors are withdrawing over new flat-fee rates, leaving Kenna without counsel. Forced to represent himself, the judge granted him time to prepare and possibly secure bail, while remanding him in custody until his next court date. Garda objections to his bail will be shared with him to help his case. He’s not alone — another man, 50s, also charged in the incident, appeared in court last week.
