Six further people appear in court in connection with Dublin disturbances

Six people have appeared in court charged with public order offences following disturbances at a site which had been earmarked to house asylum seekers in north Dublin.

A woman and five men were brought before Dublin District Court on Tuesday in connection with the unrest that broke out at a disused factory in Coolock.

All six were charged with failing to leave various areas in Coolock. Two faced further charges of using threatening or abusive language or behaviour.

They were the latest to be charged in connection to the incidents after 15 people appeared before the court in a late sitting on Monday night.
