Two charged over Dawson Street raid

Two men have appeared at Dublin District Court on charges arising from an attempted robbery of a jewellery shop in Dublin city centre last Friday.

Clive Kavanagh, 41, from Portland Row in Dublin and Michael Martin, 25, from Oriel Street in Dublin, were both charged with stealing €100,000 worth of jewellery from Dawson Jewellers on Dawson Street.

They were also charged with possession of a firearm in suspicious circumstances.

Both men were granted legal aid and the case was put back for a bail hearing this afternoon.

A third man, who was injured after he was tackled by the owner Ken McDonagh, is still in hospital.

He is expected to be discharged and questioned later this week.
