Teen accused of attempt to run over gardaí remanded

A 15-year-old boy accused of attempting to run over two gardaí with a car was further remanded in custody today by Judge John Coughlan at the Dublin Children's Court.

Judge Coughlan remanded the boy in custody to appear again in three weeks when he is to be served with a book of evidence. Earlier, it had been held that the case was too serious to be kept in the juvenile court and should be sent forward to the Dublin Circuit Criminal Court, which has wider sentencing powers.
