A 32-year old woman who sued, claiming she was groomed by a bus driver when she was a schoolgirl and later allegedly sexually assaulted by him, has been awarded €300,0000 by a High Court Judge.

A Dublin father and son have been cleared on several charges of threatening to have a garda shot and left in a ditch.

The High Court has ruled that a builder is not entitled to the €2m he claimed a landowner owed him for the work he did to secure planning permission for a €44m housing development, including long hours lobbying Dublin councillors.
