Woman (64) now afraid to enter Dublin city centre after alleged mugging, court hears

A 64-year-old woman was allegedly mugged on Dublin's O’Connell Street, suffering a dislocated shoulder and losing personal belongings including €25. Two suspects, Ceiligh McCormack and John Byrne, were remanded in custody after appearing in court. Gardaí reported the victim is too unwell to attend hearings and fears entering the city center. CCTV showed the suspects rummaging through her bag before discarding it in the River Liffey. Both defendants lacked legal representation due to ongoing industrial action affecting legal aid. The judge emphasized their presumption of innocence but noted serious bail concerns.
