A man has been remanded in custody after being charged with an attack on a woman in a Dublin laneway.

It's alleged she was tied up and gagged with duct tape.

Maurice Fitzgerald, with an address at Abbeyview in Buttevant, Cork, appeared before Dublin District Court yesterday charged with a number of offences including allegedly falsely imprisoning a woman in Dublin city centre on Saturday night.
