No bail for teen charged over Lambert Puppet Theatre arson

The blaze broke out between 8pm and 8.45pm on August 28 in the theatre at Clifton Lane, Monkstown, Co Dublin. It is estimated that €150,000 worth of damage was caused to the historic venue, which was founded in 1972 by Eugene Lambert and is now run by his son, Liam Lambert.

The teenager, who cannot be named because he is a minor, was refused bail when he appeared at the Dublin Children’s Court yesterday, charged with arson and burglary.
