The accused is John Paul Ward, 36, of Parkmore estate, Tuam, Galway; gardaí arrested him that day, and he was later charged at Kevin Street station with the robbery and with possessing a stolen bicycle earlier that day. On 14 December he appeared before Judge William Aylmer at Dublin District Court, was released on €350 bail with conditions, and has yet to indicate a plea, with the DPP recommended to proceed on indictment in the Circuit Court; he is due to reappear on 25 January.
