Barrister on murder charge granted bail on strict conditions by Court of Appeal

A leading barrister who is accused of murdering a father of four in a fatal shooting on farmland in Tallaght has been granted bail on Friday evening after the Court of Appeal overturned the rejection of his bail application by the High Court last month.

He added that the bail conditions agreed between the parties justified the court’s decision to admit Mr Phelan to bail. Last month, Ms Justice Murphy said the applicant had a “powerful incentive to evade justice” based on the seriousness of the charge, the strength of the evidence, the likely sentence in the event of a conviction and alleged ongoing threats to the accused.

On Tuesday of this week, the Court of Appeal President Mr Justice Birmingham asked that the applicant provide a comprehensive financial statement to the court setting out his assets, liabilities, all sources of income in recent years and details of any property in and outside the jurisdiction.
