DPP DIRECTIONS DUE

Three people allegedly forced their way into a home in Rathangan.

It was heard that Mr Hamilton and Ms Kelly are partners, and that Ms Kelly is the aunt of Mr Kelly.

A fourth suspect was mentioned, but their identity was not disclosed before the court by gardaí.

ACCUSATIONS

The judge was told that the trio allegedly 'forced their way into the house.'
