It was originally expected to be raised last month, but salvage efforts were delayed after a…

“My life has changed completely since that day. I feel disgusted and utterly violated,” were the words of a woman traumatised after a man stood behind her on a crowded Luas tram and soiled her dress with his semen. Security guard Abdiweli Ali, aged 24, was jailed for eight months for the broad daylight sexual assault on June 10 last year. Dublin District Court heard it happened as the woman and her friend travelled in broad daylight to the Three Arena for a Smashing Pumpkins concert. Describing it as an “appalling offence”, Judge Grainne Malone stated she had to ensure…

The interrogation begins the moment I’m in the car. Questions pelt down like rain against the windscreen – relentless, a persistent drizzle that stings. “Two clear chances in the first half…” The accusation hangs in the air even before the seatbelt is fastened.

A resident of Arranmore Island, off the coast of Donegal, explained to a judge that he drove his car without insurance to obtain essential groceries. “It was an emergency,” Oleksandr Karpenko asserted before Judge Eiteáin Cunningham at Letterkenny District Court. The 32-year-old was stopped on the R251 at Kilmore at 6:30 PM on December 20, 2024. Gardaí stopped him after their mobility app flagged his Seat Alhambra as uninsured.

This rise poses a “clear and growing threat to public safety, especially for children.” The report highlights that higher vehicle fronts significantly increase the fatality rate when pedestrians are hit. Furthermore, drivers in the tallest cars may have their vision obstructed, rendering children as old as nine completely invisible when positioned directly in front of the vehicle.

Donegal TDs will use today’s meeting with the Health Minister to express their anxieties and advocate for Letterkenny. The meeting follows a request from over 170 GPs in Donegal who called for a discussion on…
