Twelve men have been remanded in custody for another week at Cloverhill District Court in Dublin on public order charges following Saturday evening's May Day protest in Dublin.

Judge John Coughlan refused them bail because of what he described as the seriousness of the offences. Another six men were remanded on bail.

Families and friends of the twelve who were remanded in custody said they were outraged that the men were not given bail given what they described as the minor nature of the charges.
