A 50-year-old man who was charged with carrying a 3D-printed gun and ammunition has been granted bail.
Valeriju Voronenko, with an address at Gardiner Street in Dublin 1, was arrested at Stable Lane in Smithfield in Dublin, on Friday.
He appeared before Judge Stephanie Coggans at Dublin District Court yesterday, charged with four Firearms Act offences.
The charges include two counts of unlawful possession of a 3D-printed Harlot pistol and eight rounds of .22 ammunition, and the other two allege he had the gun and ammunition in suspicious circumstances.
The offences, on conviction, are punishable by sentences of up to five years and up to 14 years.
Following submissions by defence counsel Kevin McCrave, bail was granted to the currently unemployed construction worker, subject to strict conditions.
Mr Voronenko must surrender his passport, observe an 11pm-8am curfew, and provide a phone number to gardaí.
He was ordered not to apply for replacement travel documents and remanded on bail in his bond of €500.
Mr Voronenko, who has yet to enter a plea, is due to appear again in September, for directions from the Director of Public Prosecutions to be conveyed.
