    Reports a court appearance by a 19-year-old charged with alleged burglaries at five Naas premises in March and April 2023, with a file sent to the DPP. The existing James Lynch cases involve a 20-year-old, a 33-year-old and 44-year-old men with different offences and dates, so none match this case.
