A man has appeared before Dublin District Court charged in connection with a bomb alert in the city last week, which closed Dame Street for two hours.

In court Garda Conway asked for a week's remand and a medical report. Mr Carwood was remanded in custody with consent to bail in his own bond of £50 with an independent bail of £100. He is to appear again on October 24th.
