Three teenagers accused of being involved in the theft of a car that was allegedly driving dangerously on the N11, have had their cases adjourned until November.
The juveniles, who cannot be named for legal reasons, appeared before a sitting of Bray District Court charged with several offences.
The three juveniles are accused of resisting arrest on the Old Military Road, Glencree, on August 2, and unlawfully taking possession of a vehicle without the permission of the owner.
One of these youths is additionally accused of having a knife at the incident, and of driving the stolen vehicle at the R117 at Enniskerry, and at various locations on the N11, in a manner which was dangerous to the public.
A fourth defendant allegedly linked to the incident is also charged with resisting arrest on the Old Military Road, Glencree, on August 2.
Defence solicitor Robert Murphy, of Aonghus McCarthy Solicitors, informed the court that directions from the Director of Public Prosecutions are still outstanding.
He said his instructions were to have the matter marked as “time passing”, in light of the ongoing dispute over the new criminal legal aid payment scheme and comments made by Justice Minister Jim O’Callaghan regarding the operation of the new system.
Sergeant Mick Dee told the court that directions are still outstanding, before asking for the matter to be adjourned.
Judge Mary McAveety adjourned the matter until early November
