A man has appeared in court charged in connection with the death of Tristan Sherry in a restaurant in the Republic of Ireland on Christmas Eve.
Mr Sherry, 26, was a gunman in an attack at Browne's Steakhouse on Main Street in Blanchardstown on Sunday 24 December when he died.
Brandon Hennessy, 20, from Sheephill Avenue in Dublin, was charged with two offences - violent disorder and producing a steel-handled brush as a weapon.
Blanchardstown District Court was told the defendant "retaliated" after his father Jason Hennessy was fatally injured during the gun attack.
Another man shot in the same restaurant incident, previously named by Irish broadcaster RTÉ as 48-year-old Jason Hennessy Snr, died on 4 January.
In court on Friday, a Garda (Irish police) sergeant said Mr Hennessy made no reply when charged shortly before 21:00 local time on Sunday.
Asked what was alleged, the officer said there was an incident in Browne's Steakhouse, and "this male was involved with a number of other males".
The defence solicitor told the court: "His father was murdered, and it is alleged that he retaliated against the person who did the murder."
There were no objections to bail subject to conditions and Mr Hennessy was released to appear on 12 March.
Mr Hennessy is the seventh person to be charged in connection with the gun attack.
David Amah, 18, of Hazel Grove, Portrane Road, Donabate, Dublin; Michael Andrecut, 22, with an address at Sheephill Avenue in Dublin 15; and a 17-year-old boy who cannot be identified because he is a minor, have been charged with Mr Sherry's murder.
