Ten Romanians arrested at a number of road junctions in Dublin appeared in court yesterday, charged with obstruction of traffic. Nine women and one man also face charges of failing to comply with garda directions to move on.
Three of the women are charged with allowing their children to be used for begging under the 1908 Children's Act.
Dublin District Court heard all were asylum-seekers and they required an interpreter in court. Judge James Scally remanded seven of them on bail until September and October, and the other three for three weeks.
