Bail terms set for pair charged with 'horrific' burglary as Tom Niland remains on life support

The State objected to bail due to the seriousness of the case and flight-risk fears.

The bail hearing was told Tom Niland (pictured) suffered life-threatening injuries, including a bleed on his brain, a broken eye socket, and five broken ribs.

A judge has set bail at €11,500 with strict conditions for two men charged over an aggravated burglary at the home of severely injured Sligo pensioner Tom Niland.

The farmer, 73, remains on life support after a "horrific" incident at his home in Doonflynn, Skreen, Co. Sligo, on January 18 last.
