A man has appeared at Derry Magistrates Court charged with breaching his bail by attempting to make contact with his former partner.
Owen McCloskey (35) of Rannyglass in Dungiven was arrested after attempting to get a mutual friend to contact his former partner to allow him to see his child.
The court heard that McCloskey has a history of breaching his bail conditions of not seeing his former partner and one of his children.
This included approaching them at a children's party, following which he was granted bail from Coleraine court.
The court heard that the injured party currently has four other cases against him.
Defence solicitor Paddy MacDermott said that McCloskey had tried to make 'indirect contact' as he hadn't seen his daughter in four months.

Bail was revoked and District Judge Barney McElhom said that it 'shouldn't have been granted in the first place'.
He will appear again on October 16.
