A Dublin mother, Sarah Dunne, aged 31, facing charges of assaulting an unconscious US tourist during a violent robbery, has been denied bail and committed to stand trial. The accused, with no fixed address but a previous residence in Harcourt Street, Dublin 2, appeared before the Dublin District Court today to receive a book of evidence and contend with objections to her bail application.

Dunne vehemently denies the charges brought against her, as stated by Judge Ciaran Liddy during the proceedings. Garda Eimear Redmond presented a compelling case highlighting the severity of the incident, asserting that the accused, along with two accomplices, allegedly orchestrated a “vicious” assault on the tourist, while also stealing various personal belongings from him on April 27 at Oliver Bond Street, Dublin 8.
