A 33-year-old man has appeared in court having been extradited from Amsterdam in connection with a fatal armed raid on a cash in transit van in west Dublin.

A man accused of taking part in an attempted armed robbery in which a raider was shot dead has been acquitted by direction of the trial judge.

The trial of two men accused of taking part in an attempted armed robbery has today heard evidence of garda surveillance of cars allegedly involved in the heist.

FOUR men have appeared in court in connection with an attempted robbery of a cash-in-transit van last year, during which one man was fatally shot by gardaí.
