A young teenager (13) charged with the murder of Kildare schoolgirl Ana Kriegel is to be granted bail.
The boy, who cannot be named because he is a child, was the first to be charged with the murder of the 14-year-old schoolgirl at a derelict house in Lucan on May 14.
Judge John O'Connor at the Children’s Court ruled that the teenager be remanded in custody with consent to bail.
The bail is subject to strict conditions and may not be taken up for a number of days.
The boy is being detained at the Oberstown youth detention centre in north Dublin.
The case was adjourned until Thursday.
Another boy is also charged in connection with the murder of Ana.
For Ana's funeral service at Newlands Cross Crematorium, the Kriegel family asked mourners to wear sparkle and colour.
Ana is survived by her parents Patrick and Geraldine, brother Aaron, grandmother Eva (Ball), aunts Jennifer, Jan and Lynne, uncles Kevin, Ray and Phil, cousins Bruno, Philippe, Natalie, Mérone, Carla, Darragh, Martha, Art, Sadbh, Cillian and Fiadh as well as a wide circle of friends.
