An 18-year-old youth charged with the murder of gunman Tristan Sherry at a Dublin restaurant on Christmas Eve has been further remanded in custody to appear again in court in two weeks.

Mr Sherry was killed following a shooting in Browne's Steakhouse in Blanchardstown in which another man, Jason Hennessy Snr, was fatally injured.

David Amah of Hazel Grove, Portrane Road, Donabate, Dublin, was held in custody after a brief hearing at Blanchardstown District Court on Friday morning.

He faced his second hearing at Cloverhill District Court on Tuesday when his case was put back to January 26th for an appearance via videolink pending the preparation of a book of evidence.

Father of one, Tristan Sherry, 26, was attacked after opening fire inside Browne's Steakhouse in Blanchardstown on the night of Saturday, December 24th. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Jason Hennessy Snr, 48, was shot in the neck and upper body while having a meal with family and friends.

Mr Hennessy, from Corduff in west Dublin, was rushed to hospital, but his condition deteriorated, and he passed away on January 4th, resulting in gardai commencing a separate murder probe.

Sherry was disarmed at the scene and suffered fatal injuries in the restaurant.

Last week, Judge Maire Conneely heard Mr Amah "made no reply" when he became the second person charged with Mr Sherry's murder.

The District Court does not have the power to consider bail in a murder case, which requires a High Court application.

Michael Andrecut, 22, with an address at Sheephill Avenue in Dublin 15, was the first to be charged with Mr Sherry's murder.

He was remanded in custody on December 30th and is back in court on January 16th.

A third defendant, Wayne Deegan, 25, of Linnetsfield Avenue, Phibblestown, Dublin 15, was charged last week with producing a knife as a weapon during an offence, assault causing harm to Tristan Sherry, and violent disorder by using or threatening to use violence with David Amah and Michael Andrecut, which would cause another person present to fear for their safety, at the steakhouse.

He has reserved his position on bail and will appear again at Cloverhill District Court on Friday.
