GARDAÍ in Galway have appealed for witnesses to an incident in the city in the early hours of yesterday morning in which a man was stabbed.

GARDAÍ raided 20 premises in Galway yesterday in the biggest ever operation into drugs and organised crime in the west of Ireland.

A GARDA was killed yesterday when his motorcycle crashed into a car outside Roscrea in Tipperary.

AN ESCAPED prisoner denied permission to marry is believed to be on his honeymoon abroad after evading a nationwide search for him.
