As of 15 mins ago.

The judge decided that the evidence available was not enough to secure a safe conviction against Keith Goff.

Brian Hayden was described as a very honest person, and his evidence was reliable, but not reliable in a legal sense, and so on that basis decided that the case be dismissed.

Around 30 Garda were awaiting the verdict in the viewing area of the Court.
