Gardaí are appealing for witnesses following a fatal crash in Lucan, Co Dublin today.

A chronic drug addict who forced his way into a family home and stabbed a man in front of his wife has been given a 12-year sentence for this offence as well as a spate of armed robberies and storing explosives for a criminal.

A jury in a Dublin murder trial has heard a .38 calibre colt revolver recovered by gardaí contained no fingerprints, the Central Criminal Court has heard.
