A 43-year-old man has appeared before Blanchardstown District Court court charged with the murder of Anthony Long in west Dublin earlier this month.<\/p>\n

Darren McNamee, with an address at Talbot Hall, Riverbank, Swords, Co Dublin, was remanded in custody to appear in court again next week.<\/p>\n

The judge directed that legal aid be extended to allow the defence commission an independent forensic pathology report into the cause of death.<\/p>\n

Mr Long was attacked near his home on Parlickstown Drive in Mulhuddart on 3 July.<\/p>\n

He was taken to hospital where he died two days later.<\/p>\n

Garda Shane Woods gave evidence of arrest charge and caution<\/p>\n

He told the court that he arrested Mr McNamee at 3.50am this morning and when he was charged with the murder of Anthony Long nine minutes later he made no reply.<\/p>\n

There was no application for bail as bail cannot be granted in the District Court on a murder charge<\/p>\n

He was represented by barrister Fiachra Treacy who asked for legal aid for a solicitor and counsel and that the accused’s legal team be provided with an independent pathology report.<\/p>\n

Mr Treacy said the incident involved a number of people, the cause of death was paramount and that it causes some concern that there was no independent pathology report.<\/p>\n

Garda Woods said he would have to seek instructions on the defence application, but Judge David McHugh acceded to both requests.<\/p>\n

He also granted Mr McNamee free legal aid and remanded him in custody to appear again by video link at Cloverhill District Court next week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A 43-year-old man has appeared before Blanchardstown District Court court charged with the murder of Anthony Long in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":550950,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[42,43,40,38,41,39],"class_list":["post-550949","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/550949","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=550949"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/550949\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/550950"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=550949"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=550949"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=550949"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
