The man accused of murdering Detective Garda Adrian Donohoe has told a "litany of lies" for his own advantage, a barrister has told the Central Criminal Court.

Lorcan Staines SC, for the prosecution, began his closing speech to the jury of six men and seven women this morning and called on them to put emotion aside as they engage in a cold, analytical assessment of the evidence.
