The jury in the multi-million euro theft trial of former solicitor Michael Lynn has been discharged after it failed to reach an agreement.

The jury was unable to reach a majority verdict after just over 12 hours of deliberations in the wake of the three-and-a-half month trial, the Dublin Circuit Criminal Court was told on Wednesday.
