A youth has been charged with having bricks and stones as weapons when rioting broke out in Dublin during Queen Elizabeth’s visit in May. Protesters clashed with gardaí on Dorset Street when she was about to visit the Garden of Remembrance.
The 17-year-old appeared at Dublin’s Children’s Court yesterday. Directions from the DPP are required in relation to whether he should be tried in the Circuit Court. Legal aid was granted and he was remanded on bail to appear in February.
