He's been charged with the murder of a homeless man in a lane off Madison Road in Kilmainham in the early hours of yesterday morning.
The boy's solicitor said while his client was detained, a number of comments were made which gave rise to "great concerns for his mental health".

He has been remanded at Oberstown Detention Centre to appear at the Children's Court again next Tuesday.
