He was forced to withdraw cash from an ATM at 2.00am, and then a more substantial sum from a bank eight hours later at 10.00am.

The man aged in his 60s received a minor facial injury during the burglary.

Two people were later arrested in the city centre and brought to Terenure garda station for questioning.

This morning, a man and a woman in their 20s were brought before the Dublin District Court.

They were charged with burglary while in possession of a wedge hammer at Wainsfort Manor Grove in Terenure.
