Two men have been remanded in custody charged with attempted murder following a gun attack on a teenage boy in Dublin.
A 17-year-old youth was treated in St James's Hospital for serious injuries following a shooting on Eugene Street on the 24th of February. Four males were arrested this week following a number of searches in the city.
29-year-old Stephen Mulvey and 25-year-old Jamie Berry, both from Leo Fitzgerald House in Dublin 2 were charged on Thursday evening with attempted murder.
They appeared before Judge Bernadette Owens at Dublin District Court earlier today.
Judge Owens remanded them in custody to appear at Cloverhill District Court via video link next Friday.
She said the victim’s name could not be reported because he is a juvenile; however, she said there was no prohibition on the identification of the defendants, who were not connected to the boy.
The other three people arrested were released from Garda custody pending preparation of a file for the Director of Public Prosecution.
