Six people charged with public order offences following a series of disturbances in Coolock, Dublin, have been granted bail with conditions.
Gardaí carried out multiple arrests on Monday evening after a demonstration at the former Crown Paints Factory on Malahide Road in Coolock.
The building has been earmarked for use to accommodate asylum seekers.
Five men and a woman appeared at Dublin District Court on Tuesday before Judge Cephas Power and Judge Maire Conneely.
They were all charged with failing to leave various areas in Coolock, including the local Garda station.
Two had additional charges for using threatening or abusive words or behaviour.
Court sergeants provided certificates of arrest charge and caution, and the judges noted there were no bail objections provided they obeyed a specific condition to remain away from Malahide Road or the factory.
They have all been granted €200 bail with various conditions to stay away from the Crown Paints Factory on Malahide Road or only pass through it, and they were granted legal aid.
One was ordered to stay away from Coolock Garda station.
They did not address the court and were ordered to appear again on September 10th to enter pleas. Legal aid was granted.
Unemployed Gary Daly, 45, of Burnell Square, Northern Cross, Malahide Road, Dublin 17, is accused of using or engaging in threatening, abusive or insulting words at Dunree Park, Coolock, and not moving on from the scene after being cautioned.
