A 29-year-old man arrested and charged in connection with the recent armed robbery of around €20,000 cash from the shop at University Hospital Galway has been remanded in custody.
Sebastian Onyszk, a Polish national living in Knocknacara, was brought before a special sitting of Galway District Court yesterday where he was charged with the robbery at the shop at UHG on Thursday evening last.

Onyszk was remanded in custody to appear again at Harristown District Court tomorrow
