Gang attack teen trial deemed too serious for Children's Court

The case of three teenagers arrested over a gang attack on a man, which was described as an act of “gratuitous violence,” was too serious to be heard in the Children’s Court, a judge ruled today.

The three 17-year-old boys had been charged at the Dublin Children’s Court with engaging in a violent disorder, at the Lower Rathmines Road, in Dublin, on August 12, 2006.
