Counsel for accused had claimed he was denied a fair trial

A Dublin man who repeatedly raped and abused his younger sister over a period of six years has failed in a bid to overturn his conviction.

The 37-year-old man, who cannot be named to protect his sister's identity, was convicted at the Central Criminal Court of 33 counts of rape and 15 counts of sexual assault.
