A 16-year-old boy has been released under strict conditions after being charged with the attack and robbery of three tourists in Dublin's Temple Bar earlier this month. One of the victims had his head "stamped on" when up to eight teenagers attacked his group.

A bail hearing on Tuesday at Dublin District Court heard there were concerns that businesses in the area could face threats for co-operating with the Garda investigation. The boy from north Dublin has been ordered to stay out of the area, obey a curfew and not contact staff from Temple Bar business premises.
