Gardaí have issued a fresh appeal for witnesses in relation to crash that claimed the life of a six-year-old boy in south county Dublin.

A man on trial for membership of the IRA told gardaí that boiler suits, cable ties and balaclavas found in the car he was in at the time of his arrest, could have been there for the purposes of an orgy.

GARDAÍ were questioning five people yesterday as part of an investigation into the Continuity IRA, a dissident republican group.

A 19-year-old man was in a critical condition in hospital today following a stabbing at a train station.
