Donegal councillor Frank McBrearty to stand trial for allegedly stealing a €1,000 phone from a colleague in 2022.
Donegal county councillor Frank McBrearty, 56, has been ordered to stand trial on charges of stealing a €1,000 Samsung S21 Ultra phone from fellow councillor Gary Doherty during a July 11, 2022, council meeting in Letterkenny.
The case, under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice (Theft and Fraud Offences) Act 2001, proceeded after the Director of Public Prosecutions approved indictment.
McBrearty, who received the book of evidence without response, will face trial at Letterkenny Circuit Court starting October 28, 2025.
His solicitor confirmed the case will be fully contested, with senior and junior counsel appointed and free legal aid granted.
McBrearty was released on a €100 nominal bond after initially refusing to sign due to concerns over forged signatures.
The specific trial district remains undetermined.
