A LORRY driver accused of wrecking a memorial to 18 British soldiers killed in a 1979 IRA bombing at Narrow Water in Co Down has been barred from going within 50 metres of any similar site.
Robert James McKeegan (44), from Beech Drive, Bleary, Craigavon, Co Armagh, was granted bail yesterday after he appeared before Newry Magistrates' Court via videolink.
The lorry driver is accused of destroying the Royal British Legion memorial at Narrow Water on October 4. Crosses, wreaths and flowers were destroyed in the attack.
As part of his bail conditions, Mr McKeegan is not allowed to go within 50 metres of any memorial.
He is also charged with having an indecent image of a child on November 14 this year.
The court heard CCTV images showed the lorry driver kicking crosses and wreaths at around 7.30am on October 4.
Mr McKeegan was arrested after he was stopped on the M1 on Wednesday of last week.
He will appear in court again on January 16.
