A teenager allegedly attacked a Dublin building believed to be housing migrant families with three petrol bombs while a female security guard stood just meters from the front door when targeted, a court has heard.

During a contentious bail hearing, gardaí also claimed the incident in Tallaght last week caused an estimated €20,000 in damage.
