The 17 year old allegedly sped through a closed section of the road
A teenage boy has been charged with risking road workers' lives during a traffic pursuit across south Dublin to Kildare.
He's accused of eight counts of dangerous driving, motor theft, and reckless endangerment of life in connection with the incident on August 10th last year.
The 17 year old allegedly sped through a closed section of the road, forcing road workers "to jump out of the way".
He also has a charge for cannabis possession, and possessing vice grips and gloves for use in a theft offence.
He allegedly stole the car in Blackrock in Dublin, before driving dangerously along the N7, through Rathcoole, Saggart, Tallaght to Naas.
He was bailed at Dublin Children's Court and ordered to appear again in March.
The DPP had recommended he face trial in the Circuit Court, which has wider sentencing powers, however, a decision on his trial venue is yet to be reached.
Legal aid was granted to the teen, who has not yet indicated a plea.
Imposing bail conditions, the judge warned he must obey a curfew, sign three days a week at a Garda station, and remain contactable by mobile phone.
