A South West Donegal man has been accused of stealing a €200 mobile phone at Inver Post Office.
Leon Ward, 25, of Meengilcarry, Killybegs, was not present at Donegal District Court, held at Ballyshannon Courthouse, before Judge Éiteáin Cunningham.
He is facing a charge that on September 2, 2025, at Inver Glebe, Inver Post Office, Inver, he allegedly did steal property, to wit, a black mobile phone valued at €200, contrary to Section 4 of the Criminal Justice (Theft and Fraud Offences) Act 2001.
Speaking in regard to the ongoing criminal defence solicitors’ strike, defence solicitor, Sinead Whelan, told the Court: “We have instructions on this particular matter, but unfortunately we can not progress.”
Judge Cunningham ordered that disclosure be sent to McIntyre O’Brien Solicitors, and adjourned the case until November 23. She also directed that the accused be present at the sitting.
The case was adjourned until November 23.
