Man accused of big theft from Offaly pharmacy is sent for trial

A MAN has been sent for trail at Tullamore Circuit Court accused of theft from a pharmacy in the town.
Eddie O'Donnell (22), Meekstown Close, Finglas, Dublin 11 is alleged to have stolen cosmetics valued at €6,480, the property of Boots, at Boots, Church Street, Tullamore on June 17, 2024.
Mr O'Donnell, who has been on bail since the charges first came before Tullamore District Court, was represented by Aisling Maloney, solicitor, when he appeared before Judge Andrew Cody.
Garda Stacey O'Brien told the court the DPP had consented for Mr O'Donnell to be sent to Tullamore Circuit Court on November 20 next and Judge Cody made that order.
The judge also granted Mr O'Donnell legal aid after being told by Ms Maloney that her client was a job seeker on the reduced rate of payment.
