Frontline gardaí are calling for handheld devices, which enable officers to check the records of drivers at the roadside, to be provided nationally to members once a pilot project is completed.

Gardaí have appealed for a man in his 20s, a taxi driver, and a couple who were at the scene of a fatal hit and run to help them with their investigations.

A man in his 20s who died after a hit-and-run in Dublin on Wednesday night has been named.
