A 45-year-old man suffered serious head injuries in an assault at a taxi office, police said.

Social workers believe a preventative programme should be introduced to lower the incidents of non-accidental head injuries in babies, with one of the country’s leading consultant paediatricians stating “prevention is better than cure”.

Gardaí are investigating the death of a man in his 30s, who was found with head injuries at a house in Co Kildare last night.
