GARDAÍ, most of whom came from Munster, are preparing today to celebrate the 21st anniversary of their first role in UN peacekeeping.

THE Health and Safety Authority and local gardaí have both launched investigations into the death of a man who fell from the roof of a business premises in Kildare yesterday afternoon.

NO Garda investigation is to be carried out over an alleged assault on a Bruff RFC under 15 rugby player after an adult who travelled with the opposing Shannon side ran onto the field.

A radio fanatic who stole and damaged FM 104 transmitting equipment and also stole property from a hospital station for his own pirate broadcasting enterprise has been ordered to do 240 hours of community service.
