Bail granted to man accused of damaging Offaly garda property

A 33-year-old man is accused of damaging garda property and making threats to a relative in County Offaly; the victim is a woman and the date of the alleged offences is not stated. He was placed in custody in Cloverhill Prison on December 18, and gardaí objected to bail over the seriousness of the damage charges, while a new charge was later brought over an alleged threat to a relative. The DPP directed that he be indicted on some charges, which could go before the Circuit Court. On February 2, 2026, Tullamore District Court granted bail on consent, with his father bound to a €5,000 surety, a curfew from 7pm to 7am and residence with his parents, and the initial remand on some charges is set for Wednesday, February 4.
