A teenage boy will go on trial on Friday, accused of violent disorder and the production of a knife in connection with the murder of 20-year-old college student Cameron Blair in Cork last year.

The 16-year-old, who cannot be named because he is a minor, is charged with committing violent disorder with two other persons and with using or threatening to use unlawful violence. Such conduct taken together was such that it would cause a person of reasonable firmness present at Bandon Road in Cork City to fear for his or another person's safety at the said place on January 16, 2020.
