Nine people have appeared in court in Dublin charged over public order offences connected to incidents which followed a city centre protest against water charges.

Gardaí in Dublin have fallen in love with a lost little Yorkshire terrier and have adopted him after a fruitless search for owners.

A man is still being held by Gardaí this morning in connection with the murder of Dublin man Ciarán Noonan, whose body was found less than a fortnight ago.
