A man in his 70s has appeared in court in Dublin in connection with alleged historical sexual offences.

He was arrested on Tuesday morning following his extradition from the US.

The man is accused of 79 offences – 78 counts of indecently assaulting four young girls aged between eight and 14 at the time, and one count of attempting to rape one of the children.

The offences are alleged to have taken place between 1971 and 1981 at various locations in south Dublin including Dun Laoghaire, Killiney, Blackrock, Deans grange and Foxrock.

Forty-two of the charges relate to one of the girls and 34 to another.

Two indecent assault charges relate to another of the girls, while one charge relates to the fourth alleged victim.

Garda Superintendent Amy Kelly said she arrested the man at Dublin Airport before he was brought to Ballymun Garda Station.

He appeared before the Dublin District Court in the Criminal Courts of Justice, and was remanded in custody.
