A 23-year-old man on charges relating to the hit-and-run incident that led to the death of nine-year-old Ronan Wilson has been ordered to stay out of Northern Ireland.
Sergee Kelly of Upper Mullaghmore, Co Sligo was before Judge Adrian Harris at Ballyshannon District Court on Friday where an application was made to amend bail.
Gardaí asked that the condition that Kelly stay out of Northern Ireland be added to the previously agreed bail terms.
Solicitor for the accused Gerry McGovern acknowledged to the court that the application was being made by consent.
Judge Harris granted the application to add the condition.
Kelly was remanded on continuing bail to appear before Ballyshannon District Court on January 5, 2024 for direction from the Director of Public Prosecutions.
The defendant had previously appeared before Judge Eiteain Cunningham in Carrick-on-Shannon District Court on September 26.
At that court sitting, it was heard that Kelly had been charged at 7.15pm on the previous evening with three counts in relation to failing to stop, failing to render assistance, and failure to keep a vehicle near the scene of a collision in Bundoran on September 23.
Detective Garda Shane Maye told that court that, after being cautioned for the charge of failing to render assistance, Mr Kelly replied: “It was wrong and I should have stopped, but I didn’t”
Following the charge of failing to stop, Mr Kelly said: “I know I should have but I didn’t.”
Following a further charge of failing to keep a vehicle near the scene of a collision, Mr Kelly replied: “I should have but I didn’t.”
Judge Cunningham granted Kelly bail after he supplied a cash bond of €2,000 and an independent surety of €5,000.
As part of his bail conditions, Kelly must sign on three times a week at Ballyshannon district court and surrender his passport.
He is also not permitted to have any contact with prosecution witnesses through social media or any other means and must stay out of Bundoran where the collision occurred.
At Ballyshannon District Court on Friday, Kelly signed the updated bail bond to include the condition that he stay out of Northern Ireland.
