Fionnbarra Ó Tuama, of George's Hill Apartments in Dublin 7 appeared in Athlone District Court last month.

A 65-year-old man charged with the attempted murder of a doctor at a HSE facility is due back in court today.

Fionnbarra Ó Tuama, of George's Hill Apartments in Dublin 7, is accused of stabbing the doctor at a medical clinic on Usher's Island in Dublin last Friday.

The victim, a man in his 50s who works with Dublin's homeless services, suffered serious injuries and was taken to St James's Hospital.

The accused appeared in Athlone District Court last month to plead guilty to an assault at the town's train station earlier this year.

He was released on bail and is due before the Westmeath court in February.

He is currently remanded in custody following his appearance before Dublin District Court on Saturday and is due before Cloverhill District Court today.
