• Man sentenced for theft in Donegal Theft · Co. Donegal

  Paul McCann, a man aged 24 (reports differ: 23) from Omagh, Tyrone, pleaded guilty at Ballyshannon District Court on April 17, 2026 to the theft of a lifebuoy at Donegal Bay Waterbus on December 1, 2024, possession of a stolen Samsung S24 Ultra phone at Apache Pizza on March 30, 2025, and intoxication in a public place on November 15, 2025. Judge Éitéain Cunningham recorded a conviction and adjourned sentencing to July 17. On that date, the lifebuoy theft charge was struck out after McCann paid €1,000 to the RNLI, and he was fined €300 for the phone possession charge, with the intoxication charge taken into consideration. The judge noted he had no previous convictions and said she hoped he had learned his lesson.
