	A wheelchair-bound paedophile sentenced to five years for indecent assault was transported to Castlerea Prison - and then brought home again - because he could not be accommodated at the jail this week.</p>
<p>
	Martin Davoren (61) from Corcullen, Moycullen, Co Galway, remained at home last night despite having been convicted of sexually abusing a young girl at Galway Circuit Criminal Court last week.</p>
<p>
	Davoren is a wheelchair user who has been paralysed from the waist down since he was involved in a road-traffic accident when he was 22-years old.</p>
<p>
	He was due to commence a five-year custodial sentence on Tuesday and was transported to Castlerea Prison in a specially adapted vehicle after presenting himself at Galway Courthouse.</p>
<p>
	He could not be accommodated by prison authorities due to his disability and medical needs, however, and was immediately transported back to his home in Galway again.</p>
<p>
	The 150km round trip occurred despite Judge Rory McCabe putting a stay on Davoren&#39;s sentence last Friday to afford prison authorities time to prepare for his incarceration.</p>
<p>
	Davoren had pleaded guilty to 12 sample charges of indecently assaulting a girl on dates between September 1, 1986 and July 31, 1988; when the victim was between 13 and 15 years of age.</p>
