A teenager who was arrested at the Irish parliament while carrying a sword and a number of knives has appeared in court in Dublin.
Jordan Buckley, of Kells Road, Crumlin, in Dublin, was detained by police at the front plinth of Leinster House at about 16:30 BST on Tuesday.
Dublin District Court has been told the 19-year-old was charged at midnight with possession of a sword under the Firearms and Offensive Weapons Act.
