A former Dublin football player accused of breaking an off-duty garda's jaw during a football match has said he was reacting to his opponent hitting him in his testicles first.

Brendan McMenamin aged 30, of Cypress Downs, Templeogue, has today pleaded not guilty to assault causing harm to Garda Enda Ledwith at Na Fianna GAA Club, St Mobhi Road, in March 2012.

A man facing sentence for dangerous driving causing the death of a Galway woman has had his bail revoked and been put into custody on suspicion that he was going to flee the country.
