An audio-visual technician has denied intentionally driving into a group of anti-immigration protesters in Dublin and claimed they "threw" themselves in front of his car.
Stage rigger Stephen Bedford, 36, with an address at a homeless hostel, on Usher's Quay, Dublin 8, was charged with dangerous driving after a protester was hospitalised on Thursday.
He faced objections to bail when he appeared before Judge Bryan Smyth at Dublin District Court today.
