A DUBLIN woman has been charged with causing €6,000 worth of damage to a man's house in the west of the city.
Deirdre Harris (31) is alleged to have damaged rooms in the house while trespassing there.
The case against her has been adjourned, after a judge said he needed to hear more details of the allegations before deciding whether it can be heard at District Court level
Harris, of Melrose Grove, Clondalkin, is charged with causing criminal damage to interior rooms of a home at Lindisfarne Park, Bawnogue, also in Clondalkin.
She is also alleged to have entered the same house as a trespasser with intent to commit an offence, on August 1, 2012.
Sgt Mary Doherty told Blanchardstown District Court: "It is alleged that (the accused) entered the house without the consent of the owner and caused a considerable amount of damage."
Judge David McHugh said he needed to hear more evidence to decide whether to accept jurisdiction in the case, or to send it to Dublin Circuit Criminal Court.
He adjourned the case to March 24.
