A teenager accused of removing a submachine gun from the Dublin restaurant where Jason Hennessy Senior was murdered on Christmas Eve has been granted bail after the Court of Appeal overturned a previous High Court decision refusing his application.

Gunman Tristan Sherry, 26, was killed after he opened fire inside Browne’s Steakhouse in Blanchardstown on December 24, 2023. Mr Hennessey Snr was fatally injured in the shooting and died in hospital 11 days later.
