Mother and baby jump out window

A mother jumped out an upstairs bedroom window holding her 18-month old baby during an alleged raid on her home, a court has been told.

Two teenage cousins charged with taking part in the incident at her house were remanded on conditional bail by Judge John O’Connor at the Dublin Children’s Court yesterday.

The boys, aged 16 and 17, are charged with burglary at an address in Tallaght on June 7 and spent a week in custody at a juvenile detention centre. The case resumed yesterday with Judge O’Connor hearing that gardaí were objecting to bail due to the seriousness of the incident and fears of witness intimidation.
