HURLING’s eighth annual Seamus McIntyre Tournament, sponsored by St Paul’s Garda Credit Union, Cork, goes ahead today at St Martin’s GAA Club in Wexford.

THE dangers faced by gardaí and firefighters on a routine basis as they go about their duty are usually put to the back of their minds.

Gardai in Cork are due to interview today the driver of a hackney cab and a passenger involved in a crash that killed two gardai in Cork over the weekend.

The two gardai, who died this morning in a road accident in Cork City, have been named.
