Four people have appeared in court charged in connection with disturbances at a proposed accommodation centre for international protection applicants in Newtownmountkennedy, Co Wicklow.
Inspector Niall Kennedy told Bray District Court that there had been a series of disturbances outside River Lodge, also known as Trudder House, a disused children’s home outside the village of Newtownmountkennedy. By 7pm the situation got worse, and a “mob” exhibited “aggressive behaviour”, setting fires with intent to cause criminal damage to property, and causing injuries to members of An Garda Síochána, the court was told.
They were three conditions attached to them being granted bail – that they abide by a curfew between 8pm and 8am, stay away from Trudder House and its environs and not to attend protests in Newtownmountkennedy. All four were granted bail on their own bond of a cash lodgement of €1,000.At one stage during the hearing, Judge Andrews told Michael Synnott not to interrupt her, as only she and the garda giving evidence were allowed to speak in court.
