The first charge stated that on January 26 at Loftus Crane Hire, Kilbarry Enterprise Centre, Dublin Hill, Cork, a burglary was carried out where two RETC radios valued at €300 were stolen. Mr Barry is charged with causing criminal damage to the front doors of the premises on that date.

He is charged with, on the same date, burgling Bracken’s Bakery on Old Mallow Rd, Cork, where a till valued at €250 was stolen.

Judge Olann Kelleher noted that there was no objection to bail and remanded the accused to September 26 to allow Sergeant Pat Lyons to obtain directions from the DPP.

Bail conditions require Mr Barry to sign on at Gurranabraher Garda Station each day between 9am and 9pm, refrain from intoxicants, be of good behaviour and not commit offences, reside at an address at Fairhill Drive, Cork, and keep a 9pm-7am curfew.
