A man has been charged with the murder of a woman in Dublin late last year.

He was charged with the murder of Emma McCrory at her home on the Howth Road in Clontarf on December 15th

Mr. Turner has been remanded in custody after appearing at Dublin District Court this morning.

Ms. McCrory - was was in her 40s - died after the blaze broke out shortly after 8.45pm, ten days before Christmas.
