A jury of eight women and four men have found a community garda not guilty of striking three "Reclaim the Streets" protesters with his baton two years ago.

A garda inspector who was on duty at the "Reclaim the Streets" demonstration on May 6, 2002, told a jury he ordered gardaí to put their batons away when he saw them being used on the crowd.

A woman who claims she was struck on the back of the head with a baton during the May 2002 Reclaim the Streets demonstration has identified Garda Donal Corcoran as the perpetrator.

A man awaiting sentence at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court for drug offences has had his bail revoked after he told a garda he was "flying away" and wouldn’t turn up in court.
