Spanish police intervened and met with a West Clare man after being alerted he said online he had a sexual interest in young girls and was going to "try" a 10-year old girl while on holiday in Spain, a court has heard.

In May 2018, Spanish police also seized a mobile phone belonging to "family man" and college graduate Liam Kelly, 45, of Clonadrum, Mullagh, and an analysis of the phone detected a small number of child sexual abuse images.
