Inquiry into alleged fraudulent resale of Electric Picnic tickets
Gardaí have said they are investigating alleged incidents of online fraud - the alleged resale of event tickets - that are believed to have occurred in recent weeks. Electric Picnic returns to Stradbally on 29 August, with tickets all sold out, except for resale tickets. Gardaí said they are appealing to anyone who believes that they may have been a victim of online fraud to please report it at your local garda station in person or by phone, or alternatively call the Freephone Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111. In a statement, An Garda Síochána said: "It is important that people exert a great degree of caution if attempting to purchase tickets for a sold-out event through any third-party known or otherwise. "Do not trust that the tickets you believe you are purchasing are real. It is likely that they will not materialise and in fact, do not exist." "Please do not send money through any app in advance," it added.

Man appears in court over alleged assault of Dublin Bus driver
A man has appeared in court charged with the alleged assault of a Dublin Bus driver. Romanian national Ionut Christian Biraz, 39, of no fixed address, who arrived in Ireland three months ago, was charged with assault causing harm to the 63-year-old driver at Beresford Place in the city centre and production of a weapon during the incident at around 2pm yesterday. He appeared before Dublin District Court. The court heard directions from the DPP have to be obtained, and an additional charge could be brought. Gardaí objected to bail due to the seriousness of the case. Gardaí agreed with defence solicitor Eoin Lysaght that Mr Biraz had the presumption of innocence and, about comments he made in his interview, English was not his first language. The judge refused bail. Mr Biraz, who listened to the proceedings with the help of an interpreter, was granted legal aid, and the judge also directed that he get medical attention in custody. He will appear again at Cloverhill District Court tomorrow.
