Two brothers charged over a violent disorder incident were granted legal aid after a court heard they are “unemployed”.
Glen Ward, 29, and his brother Eric O’Driscoll, 20, are charged over an incident in which a large group of people holding knives and pitchforks gathered in the centre of Finglas, North Dublin, in August of this year.
The court heard gardai went to the scene and the gathering began to disperse.
