Jamie Robinson, 25, was acting like a "headless chicken" on the night of the riots and should have been at home with his girlfriend, defence counsel told Dublin Circuit Criminal Court yesterday.

Robinson, of Windmill Avenue, Crumlin, pleaded guilty to one count of theft at Gala on Abbey Street and one count of rioting at Dame Street on November 23, 2023.
