The incident occurred on Sunday evening.

Two men have appeared in court on the morning of Monday, 9 April following a robbery at a shop on Martin’s Row, Chapelizod shortly before 7pm on the evening of Sunday, 8 April.

Gardaí responded to reports of the incident which observed two men, one armed with what appeared to be a machete, run from the shop and jump into a waiting car.

The car was then stopped and the three occupants, one man in his 30s and two in their 20s, were arrested. Cash and weapons were also recovered.

All three were detained under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act, 1984 at Ballyfermot Garda Station.

Two of the men, one in his 30s and the other in his 20s, appeared before Dublin District Court No.3 the morning of 9 April and have been charged with robbery.
