THIS is the young man who’s the first person in Ireland to be charged with possessing a 3D-printed firearm.
Craig McKeever, 20, from Dromard Road, Drimnagh, south Dublin, appeared before Dublin District Court on Thursday morning.
Craig McKeever has been charged with possessing a 3D gunSuppliedHe was allegedly caught with a 3D printed firearmThe court heard that he was wearing a bullet proof vest
He was charged with possessing a Harlot 3D printed 12cm ‘single shot’ firearm and plastic 6 round calibre magazine in Turvey Avenue, Inchicore, on June 24.
And he was also charged with possessing ammunition which was “designed to be discharged from a suitably chambered firearm”.
The weapon was allegedly discovered after the accused was arrested by uniformed Gardai as he attempted to enter a taxi.
The court also heard a second man was also charged over the incident.
During McGeever’s court appearance, the court heard that he was also wearing a bullet proof vest and the loaded gun was inside it when he was stopped.
Gardai also told the court the gun was related to an ongoing “violent feud”in the city.
Garda Nial White told the court McKeever was charged at 5.25pm on Thursday.
The court also heard how the accused’s home had been burnt out by a petrol bomb.
3D PRINTED GUNS
Members of the accused’s family were also in court for the hearing.
Following the young man’s appearance, the Irish Sun can also reveal Gardai in Tipperary recovered two 3D printed guns in an unrelated case earlier this month.
3D-printed guns, often described as a type of “ghost” gun, are firearms that can be assembled using a 3D printer, downloadable blueprints and some basic materials.

One happy shopper said: “Excellent sandals – very comfy, soft soles, great fit and easy to walk in.”
Meanwhile, someone else chimed in: “Really comfortable, a bit tight at first but I wore them everyday on a two-week holiday and within a couple of days they were perfect and very easy to walk in.
“I did 10k steps a day and they were still comfy, plenty of support and I love how they look!”
Another review said: “Love these sliders so comfortable and look really nice on. Have tried other makes of sliders before but they don’t compete with Skechers, what can I say love them.”

“Nice height heel, I can’t wear flat shoes now, so they felt a little more dressed up.”
How to look chic on a budget
Fashion stylist Gemma Rose Breger, and beauty journalist Samantha Silver revealed how you can make your outfits elevated without spending hundreds of pounds.
Don’t ever spend on designer denim: River Island ”always has such a great selection of fashion-forward jeans that follow the current trends”. The high street retailer offers a great range of sizes to fit UK 6 – UK 18, and three leg lengths – and prices start from an affordable £25.
There are no rules for jewels: ”Pick up something at a car boot sale, or charity shop, scroll on Vinted & eBay, snap up something from the clothing section in your local supermarket when doing the food shop or check out high street clothing stores.”
Don’t forget the pre-loved sites: With a rising number of second-hand sites, such as Vinted and Depop, there’s no excuse for not buying – or selling – pre-loved garments. Gemma, for instance, has managed to get her hands on chic Chanel sunnies for a mere £17.

A SAVVY woman has shared how she transformed her ugly outhouse on a budget.
Tracy Wright, from the UK, took to social media to show off the simple garden transformation that left people floored.
Facebook/gardeningonabudgetofficialTracy Wright was sick of looking at her ugly outhouse[/caption]
Facebook/gardeningonabudgetofficialShe gave it a quick makeover with a Shein buy[/caption]
In the post, she shared a picture of her ‘ugly’ cold house in the garden, which was made of bricks and featured a grey and black door.
But she was able to give it a new lease of life and brighten up the old building with two cheap buys.
She used a shower curtain which depicted the image of brick walls with lots of ivy falling down.
To add to the effect (and because the curtain was a little too short) Tracy added some faux ivy to the top of the outhouse which blended in perfectly with the curtain.
People were quick to congratulate Tracy on her DIY skills in the comments.
One person wrote: “So much nicer to look at.”
Another commented: “This is so effective.”
How To Make Your Small Garden Look Bigger
Garden design expert Fiona Jenkins from MyJobQuote.co.uk has created a guide on how to make your small garden look larger.
Add shelves – for additional storage and place to hold more plants.
Use foldaway furniture – to take up less space when not in use.
Add privacy – with fencing, trellis, brick walls or hedging.
Add a water feature – to make your garden seem like a natural retreat.
Go bright – when choosing plants, opt for bold colours to make the space pop.
Use large planters – to get more plants in less space.
Plant vertically – add plants upwards to make your garden seem fuller, and therefore, bigger.
Use blue flowers at the edges – blue flowers and plants recede into the distance and make the garden appear bigger.
Grow tall plants – it’s better to think big when it comes to a small garden.
Keep clutter a minimum – as it can give the illusion of less space than there actually is.
“Oh wow it looks brill,” penned a third.
Meanwhile a fourth said: “That looks amazing.”
“And it looks fabulous,” claimed a fifth.
Someone else added: “I actually hate the shower curtain thing. Find it really tacky when I’ve seen people post pics, but this is done really well. I’m impressed. Looks lovely.”

WITH all four of its clubs through to the second round, Brazil has been enjoying a highly successful Club World Cup.
This should not come as a complete surprise. Having a tournament like this – with a chance to have a crack at the European giants – is a dream come true for Brazilian football.
GettyPalmeiras star Estevao has impressed at the Club World Cup[/caption]
APNottingham Forest-bound Igor Jesus has also impressed in the tournament[/caption]
GettyColombian Jhon Arias is one to keep an eye on[/caption]
Even so, one thing remains unaltered. The Brazilian game continues to lose its outstanding talents to Europe – and, increasingly, to the Premier League.
Estevao, the Palmeiras wonderkid, joins Chelsea after the tournament, and Igor Jesus, the excellent Botafogo centre forward, links up with Nottingham Forest.
Gerson, the Flamengo midfielder who was so impressive in the win over Chelsea, appears on the verge of signing for Zenit in Russia – and there is a chance that one of his team-mates may also be on his way across the Atlantic.
It was a mistake by Wesley that allowed Chelsea to take the lead last Friday. But the young right back recovered well.
Otherwise, he was defensively sound and his quick forward bursts, both down the touchline and cutting infield, were a consistent part of his team’s attacking armoury.
The player, who turns 22 in September, made his breakthrough two years ago under Jorge Sampaoli, a coach who loves attacking full-backs.
Current boss Filipe Luis was a fine left-back in his playing days, and has helped improve the defensive side of his game.
BEST FREE BETS AND BETTING SIGN UP OFFERS
Wesley has forced his way into the Brazil squad, something which always increases the transfer value, and Flamengo expect to make a big sale in the summer window.
There is Premier League interest from Brighton and Chelsea, but there will be plenty of competition from other European giants.
A Flamengo player who has put himself in the shop window earlier than expected is striker Wallace Yan.
The club have been bringing the 20-year-old along gently, giving him experience as a late substitute – and now in the USA he has made a real impact, coming off the bench to score against Chelsea and Los Angeles.
A rangy figure who can attack from the right or through the middle, he has been running at defences with the nerveless sense of freedom of someone playing a kick-about in the park, and Wolves are said to be interested.
With even the biggest Brazilian clubs selling their young stars, one of the ways that they have been becoming more competitive is to buy in from neighbouring countries.
In fact, Brazil now treats the rest of South America in the same way that Europe treats Brazil, picking up some of the best talent.
An excellent recent example is that of Alvaro Montoro, an 18-year-old Argentine who has just been picked up by Botafogo.
The attacking midfielder came through the ranks at home with Velez Sarsfield.
Club World Cup 2025 Guide
SOME of the world’s biggest clubs are in action at this summer’s Club World Cup in the United States!
Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid, Man City, and Inter Miami are among the 32 teams taking part in the tournament, which runs from June 14 to July 13.
The likes of Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe, Erling Haaland, Ousmane Dembele, Cole Palmer and Harry Kane are showcasing their skills to packed crowds across the US.
His breakthrough came in this year’s group stages of the Copa Libertadores, South America’s Champions League.
His skill and strength of character were quickly apparent as he weighed in with three goals. Botafogo signed him on the eve of the Club World Cup.
They have been delighted by his displays in training – and even more with the substitute appearances he has been making during the competition, where he is looking entirely at home in high pressure situations. Great things are expected.
GettyBig things are expected of Botafogo star Alvaro Montoro[/caption]
One who has been producing great things for a while is Colombia’s Jhon Arias, the star man in the Fluminense side.
He was not considered a big name in 2021 when he was still at home with Independiente Santa Fe. But Fluminense played against him, liked what they saw and picked him up for a bargain fee.
A squat little figure, for the Colombia national side he is often used as a disciplined member of a central midfield trio.
For Fluminense he is a right winger with freedom to roam. He combines well, turns and surges at the opposing defence and – and he showed against Ulsan of South Korea, he strikes a mean free-kick.
Arias was by far the best Fluminense player in the side that went down 4-0 to Manchester City in the Intercontinental final at the end of 2023.
He demonstrated that he could hold his own in such company, and it is surprising that major European clubs did not make a move.
Age is against him – he turns 28 in September, and the current market prefers teenagers. But he is so good – and versatile – that someone should surely take a chance.
Another Colombian international midfielder who has made his name in Brazil is Richard Rios of Palmeiras. His is a fascinating story.
Rios was a futsal player, representing his country in an international tournament in Rio.
Flamengo liked what they saw, and offered him an 11-a-side career.
After bouncing around between Brazil and Mexico, Palmeiras acquired him in 2023 and he has since become a fixture for club and country.
Rangy, classy, dynamic and competitive – sometimes too competitive – Rios had an excellent Copa America last year and is confirming the good impression in the current tournament.
He has just turned 25, and Palmeiras expect to make a sale in the summer window, with Manchester United believed to be among the interested parties.
