Man Charged With The Murder Of English Tourist Following Temple Bar Incident Last Year

The case was before Dublin District Court today.

A 22-year-old man has been charged with the murder of an English tourist following an incident in Dublin’s Temple Bar last year.

The case was before Dublin District Court today.

Darragh O’Brien, of Beechfield Heights in Clonee, was originally charged with assault causing harm to Anthony Herron after an incident in the early hours of August 21st last year.

It was claimed Mr O'Brien kicked the tourist in the head during the attack following an alleged verbal altercation.

Mr Herron, a Londoner in his forties, later died in the UK, two months after undergoing emergency surgery in Dublin.

The court heard the Director of Public Prosecutions has directed that the case proceed on a single charge of murder to the Central Criminal Court.

Mr O’Brien made no reply when charged and has been remanded in custody with consent to bail on condition of obtaining an address, to sign on every day and to stay out of the Dublin 2 area.

He is due to appear before Cloverhill District Court next Thursday.
