After being charged, the court heard he made no reply.
A man has appeared in court accused of trying to kidnap a toddler in Dublin.
The 26-year-old man - who can't be named by order of the court - was arrested yesterday after Gardaí responded to an incident in the inner city.
The accused, who is from Eastern Europe, was charged that without lawful authority or reasonable excuse, he intentionally attempted "to take a child under the age of 16 years" from the control of a named person.
Under Irish law, the child can't be named and following an application to the court, the judge decided to impose reporting restrictions on the identification of the accused.
After being charged, the court heard he made no reply, and there was no application for bail today so he was remanded in custody.
Legal aid was granted today, and the judge directed that a psychiatric report be prepared.
He is due to appear at Cloverhill District Court next week.
