A man has appeared in court charged with threatening to kill a female garda and her husband and making grossly offensive telephone calls to four different female gardaí at a Co Donegal Garda station.

A Central Criminal Court jury took just one hour to find a sergeant not guilty of raping a woman in a Co Donegal garda station.

The jury in the trial of a sergeant accused of raping a woman in a Co Donegal garda station has been told he must be acquitted because the prosecution evidence is unreliable.

Lawyers for a Co Donegal Garda are due to cross-examine his ex-wife today about allegations she made against her estranged husband.
