Barrister in court over fatal shooting
Diarmuid Phelan, 53, is charged with the murder of a man near Tallaght.
A senior barrister has appeared in court charged with the murder of a man in Co Dublin earlier this week.
Keith Conlon, who was shot on farmland at Hazel Grove near Tallaght on Tuesday, died on Thursday at Tallaght University Hospital.
Diarmuid Phelan, 53, with an address at Kiltalown Lane, appeared before Tallaght District Court on Friday.
A small crowd gathered outside the court as Phelan was taken away by Irish police.
Appearing before Judge Patricia McNamara wearing a white, open-necked shirt, the senior counsel and law lecturer did not speak during the brief hearing, only acknowledging his name.
Detective Garda Michael McGrath, from Tallaght Garda Station, provided the court with details of arrest, charge and caution.
The judge said there was no application for legal aid.
Phelan was remanded in custody and will appear in court again on Friday March 4.
