Two men have appeared at Dublin District Court charged with a public order offence following last Saturday’s riots in Dublin.
25-year-old Thomas Morley and 38-year-old John Saunders, both with an address at Galway Road in Kinnegad in Co Westmeath, were arrested in Mullingar yesterday afternoon.
Detective Garda Fergal O'Flaherty told the court both men were taken to Mountjoy Garda Station for questioning, before appearing in court today.
Both are unemployed and were granted legal aid. They have been remanded in custody with consent to bail.
The latest arrests bring to 42 the number of people detained following the disturbances.
The violence erupted in several parts of the city centre on Saturday afternoon as the parade commemorating the victims of republican violence was about to get under way.
Meanwhile, the organisers of the Love Ulster parade have said they hoped to return to the capital city.
They said they wanted a number of assurances from the Irish Government that there would not be a repeat of the violence which erupted in the city, and which they blamed on thugs from a republican element.
Willie Frazer, one of the organisers of the rally said, ‘We would like to go back as soon as possible. But there's a lot of questions that are going to have to be answered by members of the Dáil and the gardaí.’
