The funeral for murdered prison officer David Black will take place on Tuesday, it was confirmed today.

A man is fighting for his life in hospital today after he was seriously assaulted in Co Leitrim overnight.

A recently retired garda shot himself in his former station.

A former garda accused of involvement in a £151,000 insurance fraud conspiracy in 1996 told detectives he saw a car and a truck lying in a ditch on a new Co Leitrim bypass.

A person has been arrested following the death of a man found stabbed in the early hours of this morning, gardaí said.
