A 35-year-old man has appeared in court charged with robbing a tourist near the Guinness Storehouse.
An Italian woman had her phone stolen at Longs Place on Monday evening.
Her friend handed over €60 in cash, after the pair had a gun pointed at them.
It's unclear if the gun was real or fake.
A man arrested near the scene on Monday appeared in court this afternoon.
Paul Heaney, of Michael Mallon House in Dublin 8, wore a blue coat and dark grey tracksuit bottoms for his appearance.
The court heard the 35-year-old told Gardai "I didn't rob anyone", and made no reply to the charge of attempted robbery.
He has been refused bail, and is due back in court next Wednesday.
