A man in his 20s is due in court in connection with an attempted robbery of a licensed premises in Dublin yesterday.
The alleged occurred in Finglas at around 8.30pm when the man entered the premises armed with a screwdriver.
He proceeded to threaten a member of staff while demanding the contents of the till, according to a garda spokesperson.
