TWO women have been sent for trial on arson charges.
Stacey Doran, who is 29 and from Ballybegley, Newtowncunningham, faced two charges when she appeared before Letterkenny District Court.
She was accused of arson at Main Street, Newtowncunningham on April 15, 2011.
She faced a second charge of arson at Colehill Newtowncunningham on August 29, 2011.
The second woman, Donna Kildea, who is 29 and from 483 Colehill, Newtowncunningham, is charged with arson at Colehill, Newtowncunningham on August 29, 2011.
Judge Paul Kelly remanded both women on bail, and referred the case to the next sitting of the Circuit Court in Letterkenny on January 28.
Ms Kildea’s solicitor Ciaran O’Gorman applied for legal aid for counsel, saying that “these offences can attract a term of imprisonment of up to 14 years and in this case we are talking about damage caused of between €120,000 and €150,000.”
Judge Kelly granted a similar request made by Ms Doran’s solicitor Patsy Gallagher.
Both women signed €1,000 euro bail bonds and were released to appear at the circuit court later this month.
