A man has appeared in court charged with robbing a takeaway in West Dublin in the early hours of Sunday morning.

40-year-old David Larkin, with an address in Rossfield Park in Tallaght, was charged with robbery at Tallaght District Court this afternoon.

At about 12.20am on Sunday morning staff at a takeaway in the Old Bawn Shopping centre in Tallaght were threatened by two men, who made off with the cash register, which contained a substantial amount of money.

Gardaí from Tallaght and Rathfarnham responded to the incident and two men were arrested in follow up searches under section 40 of the Criminal Justice Act.

Garda Stephen Murray from Tallaght Garda Station said Mr Larkin made no reply when charged.

Judge John Lindsay remanded him on bail of his own bond of €300. He is to sign on daily at Tallaght Garda Station and observe a curfew from 10pm to 8am.

Mr Larkin must stay at an address at Allenton Gardens in Tallaght and is not allowed within 50m of Old Bawn Shopping Centre.

He is due back before Tallaght District Court on October 19 for the DPP’s directions.

A second man arrested as part of the investigation into the robbery is due before court today on a separate matter.
