Comedian and broadcaster Al Porter has had a sexual assault charge against him dropped.
The 26-year-old - who was charged under his real name Alan Kavanagh - has denied the allegations.
In a statement following the verdict, the comedian said: "Today the DPP has directed to drop their case against me.
"I would like to thank my family, friends and solicitors, Michael Staines and Aoife Corridan for their support.
"For two long and very anxious years I have co-operated fully and respected the legal process.
"I was in complete agreement waiving anonymity today, even before learning that the DPP had decided to withdraw the charges because I have always denied any wrongdoing in this case.
"I have no further comment at this time. Thank you."
