This report is a localnews.ie summary based on public court reporting and records; sources are listed below.

The unnamed 16-year-old’s knife-production charge was discontinued at the Central Criminal Court, reported on 16 June 2021. The charge related to an alleged knife incident at a Bandon Road house party in Cork on 16 January 2020, where college student Cameron Blair was later killed.

The Director of Public Prosecutions was to enter a nolle prosequi, meaning the State would not proceed with that charge, and the trial ended. The teenager had pleaded guilty to violent disorder involving two other people; the judge directed a probation report and continued bail until 12 July.
