A murder trial has heard that the DNA of a Dublin man accused of murdering a 35-year-old was discovered on the clothing of the deceased.

A 33-year-old Dublin man has been acquitted of membership of the IRA following a week-long trial at the Special Criminal Court.

The Special Criminal Court has reserved judgment in the case of a 33-year-old Dublin man who denies being a member of the IRA.

A senior garda witness has told the Special Criminal Court that he is satisfied a Dublin man on trial for membership of the IRA is a member of an unlawful organisation, and was involved in subversive activity for a time prior to his arrest.

A man on trial for membership of the IRA told gardaí that boiler suits, cable ties and balaclavas found in the car he was in at the time of his arrest, could have been there for the purposes of an orgy.
