A 30-year-old man has appeared in court charged with the murder of his father in Dublin on Sunday night.
Gareth Sheeran of Carriglea View in Firhouse is accused of murdering 65-year-old Harry Sheeran at the same address.
He was charged just after 11 o'clock last night and appeared before Tallaght District Court this morning.

Wearing a black t-shirt and dark grey trousers, Mr. Sheeran remained silent throughout the hearing.
Judge Patricia McNamara granted him free legal aid and remanded him in custody for a week.
