Man charged in connection with throwing eggs at Tánaiste's car
A man has appeared in court following a protest earlier today in which eggs were thrown at the Tánaiste Eamon Gilmore's car.
The demonstrations forced Mr Gilmore and Children's Minister Frances Fitzgerald to abandon an event to promote a yes vote in the Children's Rights referendum
When the two ministers arrived at The Base in Ballyfermot their car was surrounded by protesters from Eirigi and People Before Profit waving placards and flags.
The demonstrators pelted the car with eggs, spat at the window and kicked it.
The two ministers were forced to abandon the event organised by Unicef to promote a yes vote in the upcoming Children's Referndum.
This afternoon 28-year-old Daniel Kelly of Harolds Cross Road appeared in court accused with breaching the peace and causing less than €200 worth of criminal damage to the 5-series BMW.
He has been remanded on bail until October 26 on condition he stays away from public events where government ministers are in attendance
