Maghera school burglary accused 'away on holiday' A man accused of burglary and theft from a Maghera school will be arrested as soon as he returns from a holiday. Paul Patrick McFadden, of Kansas Avenue, Belfast, is accused of stealing copper piping from Maghera High between 30 January and 27 February 2012. It is also alleged Mr McFadden again entered the school on 13 March 2012 with intent to steal. A bench warrant was issued for his arrest which will be carried out as soon as he returns from abroad. Mr McFadden, 44, was due before Magherafelt Magistrates Court, but a defence barrister said his client was out of the country "on holiday." District Judge Bernie Kelly asked how Mr McFadden, who is fully legally aided and on benefits, could afford to go on holiday. The defence said that "most people nowadays regard going on holiday as a human right." However Judge Kelly took a different view and said in addition to the expense of travelling abroad whilst not in a position to fund his own legal costs, Mr McFadden had left the jurisdiction without the permission of the court, putting him in breach of his bail terms. The defence contended this was "unduly unfair" on Mr McFadden. But Judge Kelly replied: "No - I'll tell you what is unduly unfair. The defendant is receiving public money to finance his case involving charges of burglary and theft, but can manage to head off on holiday. It is also a requirement of his bail that he cannot leave the jurisdiction without the permission of the court. No such application was made.
