CYCLISTS have demanded tougher safety training for truck drivers after a man was knocked off his bike and crushed to death underneath a cement lorry.

Two teenagers involved in a melee in which one of them as well as a Garda suffered injuries, have been found not guilty of assault by a judge at the Dublin Children’s Court.

A provisional license driver who was in collision with a cyclist, leaving her with serious head injuries, has been fined €1,500 by Judge Katherine Delahunt at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court today.

TWO people were recovering from injuries yesterday following an explosion in a butcher’s shop.

GARDAÍ were last night awaiting the full results of a post mortem on the body of man found in a Dublin flat, before deciding whether to launch a murder investigation.

A MAN was released without charge last night as gardaí continued their investigations into the suspicious death of an Albanian woman in Sligo after a weekend of violence and tragedy.
