Three men charged after Gardaí responded to reports of a group with knives, pitchforks and a gun have been remanded on continuing bail pending directions from the DPP.
All three were granted 200 euro bail a day after the alleged incident in Finglas in Dublin in August and faced their second hearing today.
29 year old Glen Ward, from Deanstown Way, Ratoath Road, his brother 20 year old Eric O'Driscoll of Deanstown Green, and 18 year old Darragh Callopy of Cardiffsbridge Avenue, Finglas, were charged with violent disorder by using or threatening to use violence at the Cardiffsbridge Road-Deanstown Green junction on August 9th.
At Blanchardstown district court today the judge noted Gardaí needed more time to get the DPP’s directions and ordered the three men back to court in the new year.
At a previous hearing Garda Ciaran Maloney said "reports had come in to Gardaí that a number of males were standing at the junction of Cardiffsbridge Road and Deanstown Green".
He added Gardaí were informed they had "knives pitchforks, and there was mention of a firearm".
The court heard they dispersed when Gardaí arrived.
They have not yet indicated how they will plead.
