Bail refused for attempted murder accused
Summary
Dwayne Keane, 25, of Raheen Drive, Ballyfermot, was charged with attempted murder of Jason Williams, possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life, and assault causing harm. The High Court refused his bail application, citing Chief Superintendent Lorraine Wheatley's evidence under Section 2(A) of the Bail Act that bail would risk a serious offence. Justice Paul Coffey applied the "O'Callaghan" principles and Section 2 of the Bail Act 1997 to reject the application. Keane was remanded in custody until the trial, expected to start on 9 April next year.
