• Buncrana man sent forward for trial over threats to kill and criminal damage Threats to kill · Co. Donegal

  Francis McDonagh, a 27-year-old man of Earlsfort, Buncrana, County Donegal, faces charges of threats to kill, criminal damage and assault causing harm over incidents at Earlsfort between November 24 and December 1, 2024. The charges involve three people, a man and two women. In May 2025 he was brought from Castlerea Prison to Buncrana District Court, where the Director of Public Prosecutions consented to him being sent forward for trial and Judge Éiteáin Cunningham returned him for trial. Sources differ on the court he will go before, with one saying Letterkenny Circuit Court and another Letterkenny District Court. The latest development is that he has been returned for trial and remains in custody, and no trial or sentence has been reported.
