Chief Magistrate Paul Goldspring outlined in his judgement last September that permission was not given to the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) to consent to the prosecution until 22 May a day after O hAnnaidh was charged. If 22 May was considered to be the date of the charge, that was six months and one day after the London gig where the offence allegedly took place.

You would have to have known Gwen to know that she would have done whatever trying to protect the children in her care. She paid the ultimate price for that commitment. Finally, we now feel that she has been honoured for what happened that day.

Abdullah Khan expressed that his violent actions were intended as a 'message to the Government and a message to McGregor,' highlighting his motivations behind the attacks.

the case was never about me, never about any threat to the public and never about terrorism. It was always about Palestine, about what happens if you dare to speak up, about what happens if you can reach large groups of people and expose their hypocrisy, about the lengths Britain will go to cover up Israeli and US war crimes

When the gunmen came for Jimmy Graham they were thorough. They fired the first two shots as he parked his bus in the school yard, then boarded the bus and fired another 24 shots. As the killers sped away they whooped in delight. Yahoo, they screamed. Yahoo. It was 1 February 1985 and the IRA team had special reason to celebrate: it had bagged a third Graham brother. They had killed Ronnie Graham in June 1981, Cecil Graham in November 1981 and now, just over three years later, they got Jimmy. A hat-trick.

This is a tragic and violent attack which has cost the life of Mr Alshmari, and left a woman injured. We are doing everything we can to establish exactly what happened and why, and the public's response has been fantastic. We've had CCTV, dashcam and mobile footage shared with us, which has been very helpful for the investigation.

I was not involved in any way in the planning, preparation or conduct of any of the bombings, and have never been a senior, let alone most senior figure, in the IRA. I had no involvement in or advance knowledge of the Old Bailey bombing (1973), the Canary Wharf bombing (1996) or the Manchester bombing (1996).

Wreaths were laid by members of the Dublin Fire Brigade, An Garda Siochana, the National Ambulance Service and the Irish army veterans.

Dublin Fire Brigade sirens were heard before the firefighters' pipe band played The Dawning Of The Day and Amazing Grace. A 48-second silence was held during the ceremony, before a minute's silence was held at the end.

February 25, 2006 was a busy day in Dublin, where concert goers, rugby fans and film festival attendees mingled on the city streets. It was a bright spring day in that optimistic era that followed the Good Friday Agreement, a time when "reconciliation" was the word on everyone's lips. So few could have imagined that reconciliation would become rioting before the afternoon was out.

Gardaí investigating the double murder of four-year-old Tadgh Farrell and his great-aunt in a petrol-bomb attack in Co Offaly have come up against a "wall of silence" from people they believe have information about the killings.

We will not forget what happened that night. We must make sure that nothing like it can ever happen again.

Akbar, 48, told the Guardian he was attacked just after 8am on Christmas Eve: I opened the door and then a masked man started punching me, after asking are you Shahzad Akbar?' I must have got 25-30 punches on my face. The man seemed trained to do what he was doing: proper footwork like a boxer, going only for my face My children and wife were terrorised and screaming. Akbar says he managed to push the attacker out of his house.
