A Dublin man who raped his former partner’s child eight times and sexually assaulted the girl's older sister has been jailed for nine years.

The 44-year-old man was convicted at the Central Criminal Court earlier this month of eight counts of rape and 18 counts of sexual assault by a majority verdict following a 12-day trial.
