A 17-year-old boy accused of violent disorder by delivering kicks to Mr Sherry in Browne's Steakhouse in Blanchardstown faced a preliminary hearing to decide his trial venue
CCTV footage capturing the final moments of gunman Tristan Sherry and the fatal shooting of Jason Hennessy Sr in a restaurant on Christmas Eve was shown at a youth's hearing today.

The court heard Sherry also suffered stab wounds. The youth, accompanied to court by his mother, did not address the court and sat silently as the footage was played.
Footage showed a youth, allegedly the accused, attempting to exit through a fire door, which he could not open, and he re-entered the restaurant, got his jacket and left while others were still attacking Sherry. Detective Garda Hayes agreed with defence counsel Doireann McDonagh that the youth had no prior criminal convictions.
The boy was remanded in continuing custody pending the preparation of a book of evidence, which the prosecution must serve before a trial order is granted. He will appear again at the Children's Court in two weeks. Seven other males aged 17 – 26 are before the courts.
