However while in custody for this it emerged he was recalled to Maghaberry Prison on August 28, 2025 but had remained at large.

A police officer aware of the facts of the case told Enniskillen Magistrates Court all charges could be connected.
A defence solicitor conceded bail was not an option given the recall status.
District Judge Alana McSorley remanded Fegan in custody to appear again on April 2.
