A 39-year-old man accused of being in possession of fish hooks for the purpose of stealing clothes from clothing bins has been further remanded on continuing bail.
Nerijus Zavestauskas, with an address at 1 Asca Beag, Mincloon, Rahoon, appeared in Galway District Court on Monday charged with two counts of possession of certain articles and one count of theft at Siobhan McKenna Road on May 17, 2012
