Story here. Excerpt:
'A WOMAN has been accused of falsely reporting to gardai that a man raped her at a pub in Temple Bar.
Sarah Eastwood (33) made the allegation against a named man, but gardai subsequently viewed CCTV footage and "disproved" the claim, a court was told.
She is facing jury trial on two charges after Judge Michael Walsh said the case was too serious to be dealt with at Dublin District Court.
The case against Ms Eastwood was adjourned for the preparation of a book of evidence.
The accused, with an address at Ballyfermot Parade, Ballyfermot, is charged with knowingly making a false statement at Store Street Garda Station on June 4, 2013.'
