Eoin O’Sullivan (26) and Conor O’Connor (33), who are both unemployed today appeared before Judge Olann Kelleher charged with the robbery at the Topaz Service Station in Leitrim Street on May 29th.
Solicitor Eddie Burke, acting on behalf of Mr O’Sullivan, made an application for bail in the case to facilitate his client’s continued attendance at a methadone programme to deal with his heroin addiction. Judge Kelleher refused bail and remanded O’Sullivan in custody to appear in court again on Tuesday. He ordered that he receive appropriate medical attention while in custody.
