Dublin: Man in court after State buildings rammed

The court heard that at 02:15 local time, a white Ford Transit van made a U-turn outside the entrance to Áras an Uachtaráin (residence of the president of Ireland) before reversing into the gates and driving off.

The van then drove on to the Custom House where it reversed into the gates forcing them open.

Following this, it then drove to Merrion Street Upper, where three gates at the Houses of the Oireachtas (parliament buildings) including the main gates of the Department of the Taoiseach, the rear gates of Leinster House and the North Road gate at Government Buildings were rammed.

The court heard severe damage was caused to the North Road gate in particular, leaving it breached and wide open.

The damage caused to the gates is estimated to cost tens of thousands of euro.
