Teenage vigilante's case referred to Circuit Court

A teenage vigilante, who "took the law into his own hands" and was part of a retaliation attack two days after he had been beaten by another youth, was served with a book of evidence today.

The 17-year-old boy, a first time-offender, had been charged at the Children’s Court with taking part in a violent disorder with at least two others, at the grounds of a south Dublin school, in May last year.
