No place to hold teen, court told
A troubled teenager was remanded on bail today and told to come back to court next Wednesday after a judge heard that a detention centre had no space to take him.
The 14-year-old boy is facing charges at the Dublin Children’s Court under the Public Order Act for engaging in threatening, abusive, insulting behaviour likely to cause a breach of the peace, and for failing to comply with a Garda’s direction to leave the vicinity in a peaceful manner. The alleged incidents occurred on April 30 and May 10 in north Dublin.
