A man has been seriously injured in a single-vehicle road collision in Dundalk, Co Louth.

The businessman cleared of assaulting a burglar he struck twice with his Mercedes car last night said: “I’m glad it’s all over.” He said he wouldn’t go “through this ordeal again”.

TWO companies owned by Meath-based businessman Patrick Kerrigan have paid out almost €4 million to the Revenue Commissioners in unpaid taxes and penalties.
