latest first- Former rugby international pleads not guilty to perfume theft in Dublin Theft · Co. Dublin
Brendan Mullin, a 62-year-old Irish former rugby international who won 55 caps between 1984 and 1995, is accused of stealing a bottle of Hermès perfume worth €158 from Brown Thomas on Grafton Street, Dublin, on 15 May 2026. He was charged under section 4 of the Theft and Fraud Act, and the DPP directed summary disposal in the District Court. After several procedural hearings, an application to strike out the charge was refused in September 2026. At his fifth hearing on 2 November 2026, Mullin pleaded not guilty, represented himself due to the ongoing legal aid dispute, and was remanded on continuing bail with a hearing set for 8 March.

Brendan Mullin, a 62-year-old former rugby international, has been charged with the theft of a bottle of Hermès perfume worth €158 from Brown Thomas department store on Grafton Street in May of the previous year. He appeared unrepresented at Dublin District Court on 20 October 2026, his fourth appearance, after his solicitor was absent due to a strike. Mullin chose to be tried by a District Court judge rather than a Circuit Court jury. He was directed to attend court on 2 November to set a hearing date, with the case likely to be taken in the new year.
