A 34-year-old man has been charged with the attempted murder of a Dublin woman who was set on fire at her home last November, and two other men have been charged with threatening to kill and extortion.
Three men appeared in Dublin District Court today charged in connection with the attack in Clondalkin.
Alexis Campion, aged 44, suffered severe, life-changing burns to her face and body during the attack at her home in Oak Downs, Clondalkin, on 25 November 2025.
Ms Campion was in a coma for weeks after being set alight and remains in hospital.
Paul Brannigan, 34, with an address at Lealand Drive, in Clondalkin is charged with attempted murder and assault causing harm.
As the District Court does not have jurisdiction to grant bail on an attempted murder charge he was remanded in custody to appear ar Cloverhill Court on 1 April.
Keith McCabe, 41, with an address at Thornfield Square, Clondalkin, is charged with threatening to kill and extortion by demanding money with menaces.
There was no application for bail today and he was remanded on bail to appear at Cloverhill on 1 April. His solicitor asked he receive care for medical issues.
Nathan Dolan, 18, with an address at Monastery Gate Avenue, Clondalkin is also charged with threatening to kill and extortion by demanding money with menaces.
There was no application for bail and he was remanded to appear in court at Cloverhill on 31 March. All three men made no reply when charged and they were granted legal aid as they are not working.
Garda Danielle O'Sullivan gave evidence that Mr Brannigan "made no reply" when charged.
Garda Shane O'Brien said Mr McCabe also had no reply to his four charges. Judge Hughes noted that the accused faced objections to his bail. However, his solicitor, Michael Hennessy, said that Mr McCabe would seek bail at his next scheduled hearing.
Legal aid was granted, and the judge agreed to request medical treatment for Mr McCabe in custody. Dressed in a blue jacket, a grey top and pants, he did not address the court.
Garda Charles McPartland told the judge that unemployed Mr Dolan made "no reply" when charged. His solicitor said there was no bail application at this point.
Legal aid was granted to the young man, who was dressed in a dark hooded coat, runners and grey trousers.
Mr Brannigan and McCabe will appear at Cloverhill District Court on Wednesday, while the teenage defendant will appear there on Tuesday. Directions from the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) were not available yet.
Detectives arrested the three on Tuesday and detained them at Clondalkin and Ronanstown garda stations for questioning under section 50 of the Criminal Justice Act 2007.
They were charged yesterday evening and held pending the court hearing.
Multiple properties were searched in the Clondalkin and Ballyfermot areas. A family liaison officer has been appointed to keep Alexis Campion and her family updated on the ongoing investigation.
Gardaí continue to appeal for information and ask that anyone with footage, including dash-cam, make it available to the investigation team.
