A 15-year-old boy accused of holding a meat cleaver to a taxi-driver's throat during a car-jacking in Dublin plans to plead guilty, his lawyer told a court.

Gardai arrested the boy, who cannot be named because he is a minor, after a 36-year-old taxi driver was allegedly left traumatised when he was robbed at knife-point and his BMW car was seized in Terenure, Dublin, in the early hours of May 18.
