A 26-year-old man has appeared in court charged with threatening to kill a barman who was shot twice in a Limerick city pub last Sunday night.
Mr Wayne Dundon, 92 Lenihan Avenue, Prospect, was also charged with punching two detectives in the face during an interview at Henry Street Garda station this morning.
Limerick District Court heard Mr Dundon is alleged to have been involved in a row with Mr Ryan Lee (19) at Brannigan's Bar, Mulgrave Street, on Sunday night.
Detective Garda Ronan McDonagh told the court that Wayne Dundon allegedly threatened to kill the barman and made gestures with his hand in the shape of a gun.
Less than 24 minutes after the alleged threats were made, Mr Lee was shot twice in the knee and hip by a lone gunman who entered the bar.
Judge Tom O'Donnell refused a bail application and remanded the accused in custody to appear again before the court next week.
