Stephen Bedford, 37, has pleaded not guilty to criminal trespass
An activist who claims he was providing "homeless services" while squatting at a vacant pub in Dublin has pleaded not guilty to criminal trespass.
He is accused of trespassing with intent to interfere with property or commit an offence at Pimlico Tavern, Dublin 8, breach of the peace in Pimlico, and later giving a false name at Garda station from Oct 16 – 17. He entered a not guilty plea, and the case was adjourned to a date in November to set a date for his contested hearing.
At an earlier stage, Court Garda Sergeant Niall Murphy told Judge Treasa Kelly that there was no objection to bail subject to a condition to stay out of Pimlico.
