A number of youths became increasingly aggressive toward gardaí, the court heard.

They were cautioned to leave the area and a number of arrests were made, said Garda Sergeant Derek Dalton.

Judge Owens adjourned the case until next week.

The girl’s solicitor said progress will be made on the next date.
