Gallagher to be released on bail

CELEBRITY chef Conrad Gallagher is due to be released from Cloverhill Prison today as he awaits trial on criminal charges of stealing valuable paintings from his own restaurant.

The 32-year-old former owner of Peacock Alley was granted bail on application before a sitting of the High Court at Cloverhill in Dublin yesterday.

The Donegal-born restaurateur had been remanded in custody by the Dublin Circuit Criminal Court last week following extradition from the US.
