A Clonmany man has appeared before Buncrana District Court facing multiple road traffic charges, including six counts of dangerous driving.
Kyle Toland, of Mindoran, Clonmany, is currently before the courts on a total of ten charges, with further counts likely to be added following directions from the Director of Public Prosecutions.
The 24-year-old is accused of a series of alleged offences that occurred on April 26, 2026, across several locations in East Donegal.
The court heard that the dangerous driving charges relate to incidents at Derry Road in St Johnston, Main Street in Carrigans, Dundee in St Johnston, Lifford Bridge, and Station Road in Lifford. In addition to these, Mr Toland is charged with driving without insurance, driving without a licence, and failing to produce documentation on the same date.
He also faces a charge of refusing to provide a sample of blood or urine under Section 12 of the Road Traffic Act 2010.
A further dangerous driving charge relates to an alleged earlier incident at Cabry, Quigley’s Point, on January 3, 2026.
Defence solicitor Frank Dorrian told the court that most of the charges stem from a sequence of events during one continuous episode.
Sergeant Conor Mulkerns said that directions from the DPP are still awaited and indicated that additional charges may follow.

Mr Dorrian made an application to vary his client’s bail conditions, seeking the removal of a previously imposed curfew and requesting that a signing-on condition be transferred to Blessington Garda Station.
The court was told that Mr Toland intends to take up employment in the Leinster area and wishes to change his bail address accordingly too.
The State raised no objection to the application, and Judge Emile Daly granted the variation of bail.
The case was adjourned to Letterkenny District Court on September 14, 2026.
An application for legal aid was also made on Mr Toland’s behalf, with the court hearing that he is currently unemployed.
