The Court of Criminal Appeal has reserved judgement in the case of a psychiatric patient jailed for 10 years for repeatedly stabbing a doctor.

A CASH-STRAPPED solider, who robbed a betting shop located next to Sarsfield Barracks where he was based, had his career saved when a judge bound him to the peace for three years.

ONE of three men involved in a brutal attack which left a stabbing victim with a punctured lung was yesterday jailed at Limerick Circuit Court for two years.

A GIRL aged six was hit by gunfire from the occupants of two cars that sped through a built-up housing estate, Limerick Circuit Court has heard.

HE literally gave two fingers to the justice system — his murder trial collapsing after six key witnesses withdrew their evidence — but yesterday, it was one the witnesses who faced imprisonment.
