A 13-year-old boy on bail "made no attempt to conceal his identity" while performing handbrake turns in a stolen car for onlookers in Cherry Orchard in Dublin, a court has heard.

The schoolboy, now 14, and described as "fascinated with cars", was given a two-month deferred sentence, a four-year driving ban and placed on supervised probation for a year. He pleaded guilty to four motor thefts, dangerous driving, criminal damage, having no licence or insurance, and a phone theft.
