Fr Eddie Gallagher case adjourned once again due to lack of bail address
Edward Gallagher (58) of Orchard Park in Lifford, County Donegal is charged with attempted sexual communication with a child on dates between April 2 and April 17, 2025
Derry Magistrates' Court heard today that no address has yet been obtained for a priest to mount a bail application.
Edward Gallagher (58) of Orchard Park in Lifford, County Donegal is charged with attempted sexual communication with a child on dates between April 2 and April 17, 2025.
At today's sitting of the court defence barrister Stephen Chapman told the court that a proposed bail application would not be going ahead as the defendant had 'not been able to obtain an address'.
He asked for the bail application to 'travel along' until such time as an address can be obtained and said there was no requirement to produce the defendant.
A prosecutor told the court that a full file in the case was not expected until June 27 and as yet nothing had been received.
Gallagher was remanded in continuing custody to appear again on July 3.
