A 17-year-old teenager has pleaded guilty at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court to the manslaughter of a Chinese student in an attack last year.
Three other teenagers had previously pleaded guilty to other offences arising out of the death of Zhao Liu Tao (29) on Beaumont Grove, Beaumont, on January 21st, 2002.
Mr Daniel Jones (19), from Gardiner Place, Dublin 1, along with two accomplices, aged 15 and 17, have pleaded guilty to violent disorder by using or threatening to use unlawful violence on the same date.
All the youths, except for Jones, cannot be named for legal reasons.
Judge Desmond Hogan adjourned the sentence of all four until June 24th.
Another 16-year-old youth had his case adjourned for arraignment until March 19th after his counsel said he was not ready to enter a plea on the matter. A sixth youth opted to go for trial by jury and his case was adjourned until May 19th.
All the accused are from Dublin's northside.
Mr Tao died from head injuries sustained after he was struck a single blow with an iron bar by the 17-year-old who pleaded guilty to manslaughter. The incident followed an altercation between the gang of Irish youths and a group of Chinese students.
