A schoolboy who denies crashing a stolen vehicle into a Garda Special Branch car which was escorting Taoiseach Brian Cowen, has been remanded on bail pending the preparation of a book of evidence.

Two detectives, who were not injured in the collision in Dublin, were following the Taoiseach's official car as Mr Cowen was being driven home from a late cabinet meeting on the night of November 18 last.
