The case against a Limerick man charged with the murder businessman Roy Collins boils down to the proposition that he “made a run for it” when spotted by gardaí walking with a man against whom there was evidence had carried out the shooting, the Special Criminal Court has heard.

A DRUGS courier who was caught bringing drugs worth almost €250,000 from the North to Limerick has been jailed for four years.

A LIMERICK man accused of threatening to kill his former business partner’s father and sister told gardaí he wished someone would put a gun to his head after learning of the allegation against him.

A MAN who fled Limerick after he survived 14 bullet wounds in a machinegun attack, was found with a false passport hours after he arrived back in the city from Britain, a court heard.
