A CASE of a Cork city man who allegedly duped a woman in Skibbereen out of €1,550 in a suspected accommodation scam is still under investigation, Skibbereen District Court heard.

Calum Martin (26), of Meadow Crescent, The Meadows, Hollyhill, Cork city appeared before the court charged with trying to deceive a person to pay him €1,550 acting as a tenant contrary to Section 3 of the Criminal Justice (Theft & Fraud Offences) Act 2022.

Other charges before the court relate to an alleged theft and possession of cannabis for the purpose of sale or supply.

Sgt Tom Mulcahy said the investigation into the matters was ongoing, with a file currently being prepared for the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP).

Mr Martin was in court and asked the judge whether a variation could be made to his curfew, currently one of his bail conditions.

Judge Joanne Carroll advised the defendant that any application to his bail conditions would have to be made through his solicitor.

Judge Carroll adjourned the case to April 28th, ordering that all original bail conditions stay in place and are adhered to until a further application to vary bail conditions is made.
