Gardaí believe a child was brought by her mother to “drinking parties” where she was systematically raped over the course of five years.

A former garda has been sent forward for trial charged with stealing cannabis from a garda station and perverting the course of justice.

A female pedestrian was seriously injured this morning when she was struck by a motorcyclist on the Crumlin Road in Dublin, gardaí said.

A MAN who died after he was attacked in a row at an apartment block at the weekend had been stabbed repeatedly, a postmortem showed.

A YOUNG man was shot and seriously injured in Crumlin over the weekend as part of a longstanding feud between two rival Dublin gangs.

GARDAÍ dealt a major blow yesterday to a drugs gang involved in a vicious feud that has resulted in at least two murders and several attempted murders.

An 18-year-old man who was shot at point blank range yards from his Dublin home died from his injuries in hospital today, gardai said.
