The State sought bail of €5.8m yesterday to free one of the world’s largest fishing ships, the Dutch-owned Annelies Ilena, formerly the Killybegs-owned Atlantic Dawn.

The judge who ordered a €2.50 drinks price minimum in three seaside resort clubs has been told one breached the spirit of his ruling by not charging for mixers with shorts.

A SOLICITOR yesterday suggested that an arrest warrant was so old it should be preserved in a museum.

A JUDGE who was on the Immigration Appeals Tribunal launched a blistering attack on the State’s failure to effectively crack down on people-trafficking.
