A father has been sentenced to jail for the repeated rape and abuse of his daughter, marking a significant development in domestic legal proceedings. This comes as a PSNI officer was also arrested over alleged abuse of position for sexual purposes, adding to ongoing concerns about historical and contemporary abuse cases.
Meanwhile, the MetroLink project faces renewed scrutiny over its escalating costs, with the operator reportedly spending over €2 million for each house acquired on Dartmouth Square. This development follows previous reports of potential €19 billion cost overruns.
In other domestic news, Dublin's Portland Row sports pitch has been successfully saved from a housing development following a local campaign. Additionally, Ireland is set to deploy its first long-range military radar systems next year, and Ed Sheeran's charity is funding a cross-border project for young musicians.
