Two men appeared in court yesterday charged in connection with the death of a man in Rathmines, Dublin, last year.
Mr Fergal Cagney (19), a third-level student from Greenacres, Kildromin, Kiltealy, Co Limerick, and Mr Ronan McGrath (18), unemployed, from Deerpark Road, Castleknock, Dublin, were both charged with the manslaughter of Mr David Langan (19), from Castleknock, at Portobello on August 25th.
They were also charged with endangerment under the Non-Fatal Offences Against the Person Act.
Mr McGrath was further charged with threatening to kill Mr Langan.
Det Sgt George McGeary told Dublin District Court he arrested both at Rathgar Road yesterday morning when he met them by appointment.
They were taken to Rathmines Garda station where, after they were charged, both made no reply.
The court heard there was no objection to bail for the accused and the State was seeking a 12week remand for preparation of a book of evidence.
Judge Miriam Malone set their own bonds of £300 each and remanded them to appear again on September 19th.
She made it a condition of the bail that they reside at their home addresses. She also granted free legal aid.
