Bail for teen charged with breaking movement laws who lives in Covid-19 positive house

Summary

Aaron Tyrell, 19, of Woodhazel Close, Ballymun, was granted bail by the High Court after being charged with four counts of breaching the Health (Preservation and Protection and other Emergency Measures in the Public Interest) Bill 2020. The charges stem from alleged movements on 8 April, 13 April and 21 April, when he was seen at the Omni Shopping Centre and elsewhere. Tyrell denies the charges and claims he was within the 2km radius allowed by the law. He lives in a house where two occupants tested positive for COVID‑19. The court noted the seriousness of the alleged breaches and imposed a €200 surety bond, a curfew from 10 pm to 8 am, and warned that any violation would lead to revocation of bail. The case remains at the bail stage with no further proceedings reported.
