A 49-year-old man has appeared in court charged with attacking two gardaí and trying to damage a garda car during the Dublin riots last year.

Don Sheridan from Whitestown Park in Blanchardstown is the first of 99 people whose images were published on the garda website to be charged and appear in court.

An Garda Síochána said they posted the images to rule people in or out of their investigation.

The majority have now been identified following a public appeal for information and the images have now been taken down.

Mr Sheridan is facing six criminal charges.

He is accused assaulting two gardaí, a male and a female, on Parnell Street during the riots on 23 November 2023, and attempting to damage a garda car.

He is also accused of violent disorder, criminal damage to property and producing a bottle during a dispute to intimidate another person.

Garda Tom Mc Evoy gave evidence of arrest charge and caution in court today.

Mr Sheridan was granted bail on a number of conditions including that he sign on three times a week at Finglas Garda Station, be contactable at all times by the gardaí, be of good behaviour, have no contact with the injured parties and not attend any protest at the city centre.

He’s due to appear again at the Dublin District Court on 16 January.
