The party decided this week not to add Senator Eugene Murphy to their ticket in Roscommon-Galway, fuelling speculation about his future.

Simon Quinn's funeral Mass took place in St Bernard's Church in Abbeyknockmoy this afternoon.

The station was unoccupied at the time and the suspect was arrested after an alarm was activated.

Local Independent councillor Enda Stenson says it's a major boost to the area.

Over 130 staff in St Christopher's are planning the work-to-rule over a pay row.

Fr Joe O'Brien knew him well and paid a glowing tribute to the young man.

The party has a place to fill after the death of highly respected councillor John Naughten.

Senator Murphy could run as an Independent instead and abandon the party he's been in for over 40 years.
