A Donegal man has been ordered by a court not to leave “rubbish containing bodily fluids” in the communal area of a house.

The instruction was given as part of bail conditions imposed on a man charged with breaching a protection order.

No details of any alleged incident were given during the brief hearing at Letterkenny District Court.

The man, who is in his 30s and cannot be named due to legal reasons, was brought before Judge Emile Daly.

A Garda gave evidence of arresting the man for an offence contrary to section 33 of the Domestic Violence Act, 2018.

He was later charged with breaching a protection order, contrary to section 33 (1) of the Act and he made no reply when cautioned.

Garda Sergeant Jim Collins told the court that there was no objection to bail, but added that the State was seeking “very strict conditions”.

The defendant was granted bail in his own bond of €150 nil cash.

Conditions implied included that the man: not take alcohol or illegal drugs; provide a mobile phone number and be contactable 24/7; continue to abide by the terms of the protection order.

The man was also ordered not to interfere with any witnesses in the case.

He was told to stay out of the bedroom of the protection order’s applicant and, specifically, “not leave any rubbish containing bodily fluids in the communal area of the house.”

The case was adjourned to December with disclosure to be given to the man’s legal team by the end of November.
