The boy, 17, who cannot be identified because he is a minor, was charged with motor theft in Manorhamilton and dangerous driving

A teenage boy accused of stealing a car in Leitrim before crashing it in Dublin city centre has been released under strict terms despite his mother wanting him "incarcerated".He was found at Inns Quay after allegedly breaking a red light on Thursday and colliding with another car.

A bail hearing was told he had implements to carry out a theft: a screwdriver and vice grips "which still contained the ignition barrel from the vehicle, that he had ripped from the vehicle". Judge John O'Leary heard at Dublin District Court that no injuries were caused in the crash. The boy was accompanied to court by his social worker as his mother could not attend because she was caring for a relative.

She said directions from the Director of Public Prosecutions were required, and a decision about his trial venue had yet to be made.Counsel said her client was not a drug user and would reside with his family. The judge recognised from matters raised in the hearing that the boy had had a "tough life" and warned him to pay attention to the proceedings.
