• Man sentenced for fraud on 97-year-old woman in Edenderry Fraud · Co. Offaly

  Martin Wall, 23, from Rathdrum, Co. Wicklow, pleaded guilty to inducing Frances Byrne, 97, to pay him €500 in advance by false representation after he and a companion posed as painters at her home on Windsor Terrace, Edenderry, in June 2025. Gardaí linked a van seen on CCTV to Wall through its registration number and arrested him at Dublin Airport. He was initially charged with theft of four rings, a charge the prosecution later dropped. At Tullamore Circuit Court on April 15, 2026, the judge sentenced Wall to 15 months in custody, backdated to August 8, 2025, with a further 15 months suspended for four years. Wall's companion was not prosecuted and remains at large.

• Man accused of jewellery theft in Edenderry remanded in custody at Tullamore Circuit Court Theft · Co. Offaly

  Martin Wall (22), of Glasnarget, Rathdrum, Co Wicklow, is accused of stealing four rings valued at €8,050 and €150 in cash from a property in Edenderry town, Co Offaly, on 26 June 2025, when the alleged victim was 97. He is also accused of obtaining €500 in advance for painting jobs by deception. It is alleged that Wall and another person approached the woman about painting her house before entering it. In September 2025 Tullamore District Court refused him bail and remanded him in custody after Detective Garda Joseph Bradley opposed bail, and he was later sent forward to the Circuit Court after a November District Court appearance. At Tullamore Circuit Court in January 2026 the court heard the alleged victim is now 98, the deception charge was added, and Wall was remanded in custody, with the latest report updated on 16 February 2026.
