A 15 year old - described as likely to commit murder if released - has been denied bail over a stabbing in Dublin.

The woman, who's aged in her 20s, was discovered on the seafront in Dun Laoghaire last Saturday with serious stab wounds.

She had also been choked.

The boy appeared in a special sitting of Dublin Children's Court yesterday, where he was denied bail.

He was remanded to Oberstown Detention Centre and will appear in court again on January 2nd.
