The uncertainty surrounding Brexit is probably behind "unusual" delay by the UK authorities in clearing the way for the transfer of a vulnerable high-risk teenager in care here to a specialised unit in the UK, the president of the High Court has said.

Two men have gone on trial accused of the rape and false imprisonment of a teenage woman following a “VIP party” after a concert by American musician Jason Derulo.

A Cork woman has pleaded guilty to killing her eight-year-old son at their home in Charleville 18 months ago.

A Co Cork man has gone on trial accused of murdering his neighbour and setting fire to his apartment in Youghal.

A man has claimed before the High Court that charges that indecently assaulting his son more than 20 years ago arose from an attempt by his estranged wife to blackmail him into agreeing a divorce on terms favourable to her.
