A man with an address in Leixlip was convicted of burglary and criminal damage to a Co Donegal priest's house in July last year.

Stephen Clarke (46) of Glen Easton Close also caused criminal damage to the adjoining St Patrick's Church in Ballyshannon.

He was convicted by a jury at Donegal Circuirt Court and Judge John O'Hagan remanded him on continuing bail until October.
