Man In Court Over Rathfarnham Bank Robbery

A man in his 30s is due to appear before a sitting of Tallaght District Court this morning charged in relation to a bank robbery at Rathfarnham Shopping Centre on Tuesday.

Around noon, a lone gunman entered the Bank branch and demanded money from the cashier. He left the bank with an undisclosed amount of money and was observed getting into a small blue car which was located a short time later. No shots were fired and no persons were injured.

In a follow-up operation two men, in their 30s/early 40s, were arrested in connection with the incident.

The second man arrested has now been released.
