A taxi driver was assaulted and his car was stolen in the latest carjacking to take place in Dublin.

There has been a massive response to a garda appeal for information following a serious sex assault in Dublin city.

A Co. Kildare man has been remanded on bail pending sentence after he admitted to assaulting a man in Dublin last year.

Gardaí have named three people who died when their car collided with a parked truck in north Dublin early this morning.

Five people have died and two others have been seriously injured in two separate road accidents in Cork and Dublin.
