A 48-YEAR-OLD man has appeared in Ennis District Court in connection with the alleged possession of child pornography. The man is charged with possession of 641 images of child pornographic material at his home in the South Galway area in March. On Friday, garda John Keating gave evidence of arrest, charge and caution. Insp John Galvin told the court that gardaí had no objection provided certain conditions are met. Insp Galvin said the man must reside at a certain address and sign on once a week at a local Garda station. The man was ordered to notify Gardaí of any intention to move away from the area and to surrender his passport. He was also ordered to stay away from Coole Park and Garryland Woods. Solicitor for the accused consented to the bail conditions. Judge Joseph Mangan remanded the man to appear at Gort District Court on June 28.
