A Dublin man accused of burgling a business premises twice in two days has been further remanded on bail for DPP’s directions on the charges.

Philip Grendon (48) also had his bail terms reduced, and will now sign on at his local garda station three days a week.

Judge Mark O’Connell adjourned the case for six weeks to a date in July for DPP’s directions on the charges.

The accused, with an address at Spiddal Park, Ballyfermot, is charged with burglary at a motor parts distributor at Knockmitten Business Park, Clondalkin, on January 20 and January 21, 2024.

Garda Kevin Coller told Blanchardstown District Court that he was seeking an adjournment of six weeks for DPP’s directions on the charges.

Defence solicitor Wayne Kenny said there was consent to the adjournment.

The court heard that Mr Grendon was subject to a number of bail conditions, including a sign-on condition, and Gda Coller said there was consent to this being reduced to three times a week.

The court heard that Mr Grendon was unemployed and on social welfare. Mr Kenny said there were two separate allegations before the court, and the accused had provided a statement of means.

Judge O’Connell assigned defence solicitors Wayne Kenny and Philip Denieffe on free legal aid.

Mr Grendon has not yet indicated how he intends to plead to the charges and was not required to address the court during the brief hearing.
