Case No. 16637Rape · Co. Dublin

Man accused of raping colleague granted bail with conditions

A man in his 30s, not named for legal reasons, has been accused of raping a female colleague at an apartment on the city's north side in Dublin on an unspecified date last year. The DPP instructed gardaí to charge him with a single count of rape, and he made no reply when the charge was put to him. He appeared before Judge Derek Cooney at Dublin District Court on a Friday, reported on 30 October 2026, where bail of €5,000 with conditions was granted with no objection. The latest development is that the DPP has directed trial in the Central Criminal Court, and a book of evidence is still to be served.
