A High Court judge has urged mediation of an “extraordinarily bitter” dispute affecting the Dublin Cinema Group, operator of the Savoy and Screen cinemas in the capital.

The trial of man charged with shooting publican Charlie Chawke during an armed robbery was dramatically halted at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court after he changed his plea to guilty on all counts.

Gardaí were unable to search an assembled crowd of up to 80 travellers outside a Sligo cemetery on the day a traveller was fatally shot in the back at a family funeral, the Central Criminal Court has heard.

The uncle of a man shot in the back at a family funeral has denied suggestions that he was not at the cemetery when gun shots broke out.

A Traveller who was murdered at his uncle’s funeral was "shot in the back of his chest" as he tried to run away, a trial heard today at the Central Criminal Court.
