A 21 year old man has been charged with intimidating independent Kerry TD, Michael Healy-Rae, during a protest outside Leinster House last September.
Dean Hickson, of Griffith Parade, Finglas East, Dublin, appeared at Dublin District Court earlier.
Gardaí alleged he was among a number of aggressive protesters outside Leinster House during an anti-government, anti-immigration protest on September 20th.
The court heard the accused was identified from CCTV footage as the person who deliberately impeded Deputy Healy-Rae from entering Government buildings.
Judge Paula Murphy ordered him to appear again on April 16th to enter a plea.
