Two Juveniles Released, Man Charged Over OPW Site Damage In Celbridge

A file will be prepared for the DPP.

A man aged in his 30s, arrested as part of the investigation into incidents of criminal damage and trespassing on a site in Celbridge, has been charged. 
 
The two male juveniles arrested have been released from custody pending referral to the Juvenile Youth Diversion Programme.

A file will be prepared for the DPP.

The arrests were made in connection to a spate of criminal damage incidents that caused an estimated €400,000 worth of damage at a site used by the Office of Public Works (OPW) to access Castletown House in Celbridge between April 22 and May 4, 2025.

About a week earlier an arson incident took place at Donaghcumper House sometime between 4:20 p.m. on Wednesday, April 23, and 7:15 a.m. on Thursday, April 24. 

During that incident, a toilet, several road bollards, and a welfare unit on the premises were set alight, resulting in an estimated €3,400 worth of damage.

Investigations are ongoing.
