One of the two teenagers charged over an arson attack on a car in Limerick last week has been granted bail.
The 17 year-old youths - who cannot be identified for legal reasons - appeared today at a sitting of the children's court in Limerick over the attack, in which two young children suffered severe burns.
Both were charged with intentionally or recklessly causing serious harm to six-year-old Millie Murray, and her four year-old brother, Gavin, at Pineview Gardens, Moyross, on September 10th last.
Solicitor for the first named accused told Judge Tom O'Donnell that he was applying for bail and said he understood that gardaí had no objections.
He said his client accepted several conditions outlined by gardaí to the court under the terms of bail. Under the terms of his conditions he must abide by an exclusion order on Limerick city apart from meetings with his solicitor.
Judge Tom O'Donnell fixed bail on the accused youth's own bond of €250 and an independent surety of €10,000 - half of which was to be lodged by consent.
Solicitor for the second named accused told the court that he was reserving his position in relation to bail until "hot air" surrounding recent events in Limerick city had an opportunity to cool down.
