A 15-year-old facing a “shocking catalogue” of charges who was released on bail despite Garda objections has stayed out of trouble since his release last Thursday.

Judge Áine Clancy was told the teenager had not come to the adverse attention of gardaí since the matter was before Cork District Court on March 6. The judge remanded the youth on continuing bail until the Children’s Court in Cork on March 14.
