Woman admits to committing series of Letterkenny burglaries

A woman has pleaded guilty to a series of burglaries in Letterkenny.

Amanda Coleman admitted the burglaries when she appeared for arraignment at Letterkenny Circuit Court.

Coleman faced four counts of burglary relating to incidents on the night of September 20, 2024.

She was charged with the offences, contrary to Section 12(1)(a) and (3) of the Criminal Justice (Theft and Fraud Offences) Act 2001.

Coleman was charged that she did enter a building as a trespasser with intent to commit an arrestable offence therein, to wit, criminal damage and theft.

The charges were in relation to incidents at Zen Hair & Beauty, Port Road; Uviolki, Pearse Road; Hue Hair Salon, Pearse Road; and Dream Brows, Neil T Blaney Road.

The 40-year-old, of Lismonaghan, Letterkenny, spoke only to plead guilty.

Coleman was represented by barrister Mr Timothy Morrow BL, instructed by solicitor Mr Patsy Gallagher.

Mr Morrow told the court that Coleman has other matters awaiting sentencing and asked that legal aid be extended to cover a psychiatric report.

Judge John Aylmer consented to the request and remanded Coleman on continuing bail until the next sitting of Letterkenny Circuit Court in February, 2026.
