A 29-year-old man has been charged with dangerous driving after a car was driven into a crowd in County Dublin on Saturday.

Footage of the incident, on Harbour Road, Skerries, has been widely shared on social media and appears to show people fighting in the area and a car being driven at a group of people.

Three teenagers, two girls and a boy, were taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries after the incident, Irish broadcaster RTÉ has reported.

Sean McGlone, from Beechwood Drive in Drogheda, appeared before Balbriggan District Court on Monday.

The court heard that McGlone was arrested in his home at about 18:00 local time on Sunday on suspicion of the driving offence of endangerment.

He was then taken to the Garda (Irish police) station where he was charged.

An application for bail was made and the officer did not object, so long as a number of conditions were imposed.

Judge Stephanie Coggins granted bail on his own bond of €5,000 with a lodgement of €1,000 on Monday.

McGlone, who drives a van as part of his job, must sign on three times a week and avoid the Balbriggan and Skerries area.

He must not have any contact with witnesses, should not consume alcohol and he should be of good behaviour.
