The charge is Contrary to Section 12 1 (b) and 3 of the Criminal Justice (Theft and Fraud Offences) Act 2001.<\/p>\n
Gardai Sergeant Ciaran Feeney told the court they were objecting to bail on the grounds that the accused may reoffend and may also flee the jurisdiction.<\/p>\n
Mitchell told the court that he tried to contact his solicitor but due to the ongoing industrial action, he could not be represented.<\/p>\n
Judge Ciaran Liddy explained to the accused that he could tell the court why he should be entitled to bail.<\/p>\n
Mitchell said he was suffering from mental health issues and said he had willingly handed himself into Letterkenny Garda Station.<\/p>\n
He told the court “I’m just asking for bail to get a bit of help. They (An Garda Siochana) didn’t have to come running for me.”<\/p>\n
Having listened to both Gardai and the accused, Judge Liddy said he was “fifty fifty” about granting bail to Mitchell.<\/p>\n
He added that he was granting the accused bail but under a number of conditions.<\/p>\n
They include that he stays away from the Port Road in Letterkenny, that he stays at a designated address in Letterkenny, that he remains sober, that he attends his GP to seek an appointment with the psychiatric services and that he commits no further offences.<\/p>\n
The case was adjourned until September 28th next.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A Co Donegal man has appeared in court after admitting breaking into two businesses in Letterkenny overnight.
