Former RTÉ producer Kieran Creaven, who has been charged with 17 child abuse offences in Ireland and outside the State, has been unable to take up bail. Conditional bail in his own bond of €500 with a requirement for a €10,000 independent surety had been set on October 1. Detective Garda Johanna Doyle, who is attached to the Online Child Exploitation Unit, has sent the file to the DPP, a State solicitor told the court. If bail is taken up, he must sign on daily at Dun Laoghaire Garda station between 9am and 9pm. He has to surrender his passport within 48 hours of taking up bail, and notify gardaí of any change of address.
