A then 13-year-old schoolgirl accused of spending thousands of euro in a shopping spree in Dublin using stolen bank cards wants to become a garda or to study criminology, a court has heard.
The girl, now aged 15, faces charges at Dublin Children’s Court for thefts, attempted thefts and possessing stolen bank cards last year.
The teen, who cannot be named because she is a minor, will face a series of hearings in July after witness availability caused a delay.
Earlier, the defence successfully argued for the juvenile court to accept jurisdiction despite recommendations by the DPP that the case should be sent to the circuit court, which has tougher sentencing powers.

The streets of Dublin, normally filled with shoppers seeking bargains in the post-Christmas sales, were quiet across the weekend as a result of public health restrictions.
While non-essential retail is permitted to reopen under the Government’s revised Covid-19 measures, the sector has been requested to defer any large sales they had planned in order to reduce the number of people queuing and congregating.
It seems most retailers have followed that request, with a noticeable decrease in signage on shopfronts declaring sales.
