The boy allegedly sped through a closed section of road, forcing workers "to jump out of the way".
A judge has ordered the arrest of a teenage boy charged with risking road workers' lives during a traffic pursuit across south Dublin to Kildare.
The 17 year old is accused of eight counts of dangerous driving, motor theft, and reckless endangerment of life in connection with the incident on August 10th last year.
The boy allegedly sped through a closed section of road, forcing workers "to jump out of the way".
He also has a charge for cannabis possession and possessing vice grips and gloves for use in a theft offence.
He allegedly stole the car in Blackrock in Dublin, before driving dangerously along the N7, through Rathcoole, Saggart, Tallaght to Naas Co. Kildare.
He was bailed at Dublin Children's Court and ordered to appear again in March, and the DPP had recommended he face trial in the Circuit Court, which has wider sentencing powers, however, a decision on his trial venue has yet to be reached.
In January, legal aid was granted to the teen, who has not yet indicated a plea.
He had been ordered to obey a curfew, sign three days a week at a Garda station and remain contactable by mobile phone.
The teen, who can't be named because he's a minor, was due to face a preliminary hearing to determine the trial venue, but he didn't turn up.
As a result, a bench warrant was issued.
