“When asked where they got €8,800, that they had sent home, Mr Marginica and Ms Judele said they got it from people helping them. Gardaí could not find any evidence to support her contention that she was sleeping on the streets. Mr Ó Donnabháin said Mr Marginica and Ms Judele had given names consistent with the names as shown on their passport/national identification papers and were willing to undertake to show up for their case if granted bail. Judge Olann Kelleher refused bail and remanded both to appear at Cork District Court to see if any progress could be made in identifying where the couple lived. Mr Ó Donnabháin said that no progress had been made in establishing if they had a home in Ireland.
