A MAN IS due to appear in court today following an armed robbery of a business in Dublin. 

At approximately 3.45pm yesterday afternoon, a lone male, armed with a weapon, entered the business premises on Collinswood Avenue in Dublin 9. He proceeded to threaten staff. 

He left the scene in a taxi with a number of items from the premises.
