A book of evidence is being prepared in relation to charges of harassment allegedly carried out by a member of An Garda Síochana.
Patrick Hugh Maguire of Rock Road, Bundoran is facing two charges in a case taken by the Garda Ombudsman.
It is alleged that on dates between April 4, 2020 and March 31, 2022 inclusive, at Rock Road, Ballyshannon, that without lawful authority of reasonable excuse, he harassed Brendan Mitchell by any means including persistently besetting and communicating with him.
A charge for the same offence applies in relation to Michele Louise Mitchell.

Judge Michael Connellan adjourned the matter to June 7 for preparation of the book of evidence.
Inspector Angela Cummins asked for a watching brief on behalf of the Garda Commissioner.
