A round-up of today's other stories in brief.
Garda pleads guilty to taking corrupt gift
A member of An Garda Síochána has been remanded on bail for sentencing after he pleaded guilty to corruptly receiving €1,500 in relation to the processing of work permits for foreign nationals.
Enda Loughlin pleaded guilty to corrupt acceptance of a gift of €1,500 from Mazhar Ali Baig on a date between September 1st, 2004, and September 30th, 2004, at Barrack Street, Bantry, Co Cork, contrary to the Prevention of Corruption Acts 1906 and 2001.
The charge relates to the processing of alleged work permit applications in respect of Mohammad Habib Satti, Mohammad Nadeem, Mohammad Ali Tuqueer, Naveed Aslam and Muzxfar Abbas.
Judge Con Murphy remanded Loughlin, who was stationed in Bantry at the time of the offences, on bail to appear again at Cork Circuit Criminal Court on November 12th for sentence.
The State did not object to bail.
Ex-club manager fails in salary bid
The High Court has refused to grant Bohemians Football Club's former manager Seán Connor an injunction requiring the club to pay his salary pending the outcome of his legal challenge to his dismissal.
The court was told Mr Connor earned €100,000 a year as manager and is claiming he has a contract up to the end of the 2009 season.
Mr Justice Frank Clarke, in his judgment yesterday, said that, where a mandatory injunction was being sought, a strong case must be established.
He said Mr Connor had a relatively short contract, which ended in 2009, and there was now a new manager in place.
It seemed Mr Connor would face a very uphill struggle in persuading the trial court he was entitled to be put back in as manager of Bohemians.
If the case went to trial, it seemed the reality was it would be about damages, Mr Justice Clarke said.
He added he would put in place measures to ensure an early trial of the case.
Teenager jailed on gun charge
A Tallaght teenager has been jailed for three years for possessing a sawn-off shotgun and 13 rounds of live ammunition at his home over a year ago.
Keith Radford (19), of Killinarden Heights, Tallaght, pleaded guilty to unlawfully possessing the firearm and ammunition that were found wrapped in cellophane in his back garden.
Radford, who was a minor at the time of the offence, told gardaí he was keeping the shotgun for someone else and did not know how to use it or check it.
