A man who was charged with public order offences after gardaí responded to reports of an incident at Grand Canal Square in Dublin, has been granted €300 bail with conditions.

Lazlo Pop, 28, with a previous address at Mayor Walk, Waterford, appeared before Judge Paula Murphy at Dublin District Court.

Mr Pop faces two charges under the Public Order Act for engaging in threatening, abusive, and insulting words or behaviour and refusing to give gardaí his name at Grand Canal Square yesterday.

Defence solicitor Donal Quigley said that his client was a "suitable candidate" for legal aid, which was granted.

The court did not hear any evidence during the brief hearing about the events leading to the arrest.

The defence did not oppose the bail terms sought by the garda.

Mr Pop, who did not address the court, was ordered to sign on three days a week at Pearse Street Garda station and to refrain from entering the Grand Canal Square area.

Gardaí handed over a summary of the prosecution evidence to the defence solicitor.

Judge Murphy remanded him in custody with consent to bail on those terms to appear again on 17 May.
