A BALLYDEHOB man charged with stealing cattle worth €53,000 has been further remanded on continuing bail.

Colm Dineen (32), of Cappaghmore, Ballydehob appeared at Clonakilty District Court this morning, having previously been granted bail at Macroom District Court in January.

Sgt Tom Mulcahy told Judge Joanne Carroll that directions from the director of public prosecutions are still outstanding and that the State was agreeing to a further remand on continuing bail to May 5th with the same bail conditions as previously agreed upon, which include that he must reside in Wexford and stay out of County Cork, obey a curfew, sign on daily and not to have any contact directly or indirectly with any alleged injured parties.

Defence solicitor Flor Murphy said his client is currently residing in Wexford as part of those conditions and sought liberty to apply if they need to change residential aspect of the bail conditions.

The accused faces four cattle theft charges and one burglary charge, including the alleged theft of 12 Friesian heifers and six Friesian bulls worth €30,000 from the farm of Brian Lawlor at Lakelands, near Skibbereen on November 24th 2025.
