A young man who developed a cocaine addiction after becoming unemployed has been sentenced to seven years at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court for storing €34,060 of the drug.

A 15-year-old Dublin boy arrested for possessing a sawn-off shotgun has appeared in court today.

A couple, who hid oil paintings worth over €18m stolen from Russborough House in the attic of their Clondalkin home, have been jailed, one for six months and one for a year.

I WAS shocked by the news that 130 jobs are to be axed from Clondalkin by the decentralisation of the Irish Prison Service headquarters.

A MIDDLE-AGED couple, who wept as a court heard charges connected to the handling of paintings stolen from a stately home, were released on bail yesterday
