A man accused of setting a Luas on fire during the Dublin riots last year has appeared before Dublin Circuit Criminal Court.

John Tate (62) of Iveagh Trust, Kevin Street, Dublin 8, was charged in Dublin District Court with two counts of arson, two counts of violent disorder and two incidents of obstructing traffic at Parnell Street and O’Connell Street on November 23rd, 2023.

Judge Elva Duffy adjourned the case to February 25th next for arraignment and remanded Tate on continuing bail.

It is expected that on that date Mr Tate will indicate if he is going to plead guilty to the charges or request a trial date.
