Two bailed over Tallaght attack

Summary

In a New Year's morning attack in Tallaght, a young man, Dale Creighton, suffered serious injuries and later died. Two people, Graham Palmer (24) and Aisling Burke (20), were charged with violent disorder in connection with the incident. They appeared at Dublin District Court, where Judge Michael Walsh heard that further serious charges could be brought. Garda officers alleged that Palmer was seen on CCTV striking the injured party, fled the scene, and was found with blood believed to be the victim's on his face and hands. Burke was also alleged to have been seen on CCTV and was found with blood on her shoes. Both were granted conditional bail with €750 bonds, €300 cash lodgement, and independent sureties of €2,000. Conditions included residence at specified addresses, staying out of Tallaght, curfew, daily sign‑in at local garda stations, and no contact with witnesses or alleged participants. They will face their next hearing on 16 January.
