A garda who claimed a man deliberately spat blood and saliva on him and threatened to infect him with HIV has been awarded €100,000 damages at a High Court garda compensation hearing.

GARDAÍ were last night trying to confirm the identities of three men killed in a crash — two days after the collision happened.

A man has died following a single-vehicle crash near Cashel in Co Tipperary this morning.

A SELF-CONFESSED heroin addict and his partner appeared in court yesterday after a series of incidents in which two gardaí were alleged to have been assaulted in Cahir in south Tipperary.
