A woman who allegedly drove Gardai in a high-speed chase was ordered to surrender her passport and comply with the curfew.
Social media ‘influencer’ Gemma Greene, 24, of Bunratty Road, Coolock, again appeared in Dublin District Court on Monday.
Ms. Greene is charged with two counts of dangerous driving: at Junction 4 of the M50 Northbound and again at Junction 9 on Monday, March 1.
Garda Jane Keegan asked the court to amend the conditions of Ms. Greene’s bond.
He asked the court that Ms Greene reside at his address in Coolock and keep the curfew from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m.
They also told him to hand over his passport and now he must sign every day at the Coolock Garda station, and stay out of Ballymun.
Garda Keegan told the court that she was aware through media coverage that Ms. Greene “intended to leave the jurisdiction” and not attend court.
He also said that he knew that Ms. Greene had left the country and gone to Spain earlier this month after her arrest.
“I understand you went to Spain, judge,” Garda Keegan told the court.
Judge Kelly agreed to impose the new bail conditions, but changed the curfew from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m.

Ms Greene has also been told not to request further travel documentation upon delivery of her passport.
He also allowed Ms. Greene to stay out of Ballymun.
Ms. Greene then spoke up and yelled into the courtroom, “Why do I have to stay out of Ballymun? Now she’s taking it very personal.”
Judge Kelly told Ms. Greene that “you are not allowed to go to court” and that you must speak through your attorney.
“No, he’s taking it personally,” Greene said, before his legal representative took over and asked why the bail conditions were changed.
Judge Kelly said she has the right to amend the conditions due to changing circumstances under common law and the inherent power of the court to do so.
Ms. Greene was placed in custody on continuous bail, to appear again on April 26.

The charges stem from an incident in which Greene allegedly went live being pursued by gardai through parts of Ballymun, to Bray, Co Wicklow and vice versa.
Monday’s appearance comes after Ms Greene was told to leave the courtroom last week, after it emerged that she was supposed to be in quarantine following a trip to Spain.
The case took a quick turn when gardai informed the presiding judge Treasa Kelly that Ms. Greene should be in quarantine, having just returned from Madrid on March 15.
Hearing that, the judge asked Ms. Greene not to enter the courtroom, but she had just entered.
Dressed in a black suit with green runners, Ms. Greene was asked to immediately leave the courtroom.
Gardai told the court that there is CCTV from the alleged incident and that they are looking for another court date as the file is still in the hands of the DPP.
