Video footage and photographs of 43-year-old blind man, John Llyod, his wife and their 10-year-old son being evicted from their home have gone viral.

The brother of a man murdered eight years ago was sentenced to two weeks in prison for contempt of court during an eviction hearing at the Circuit Court in Trim.

A Fine Gael TD has denied claims he was involved in a hit and run with a protester outside his constituency office in Meath in a demonstration over repossessions.
