Two men facing charges arising out of the investigation of a high-speed chase in Cork on April 18, in which a motorcycle garda was seriously injured, were back in Cork District Court yesterday.

Two men, arrested after a high-speed pursuit during which a garda was injured, have been remanded in custody after being charged with theft and a range of road traffic offences.

ONE garda was hospitalised with a serious eye injury and his colleague was chased by a man with a slash hook after a disturbance at a Travellers’ campsite on Sunday morning and early afternoon.

Bail was refused tonight to three men facing charges arising out of a serious disturbance at a Travellers’ campsite following the death of a man in a car crash at the weekend.

Two slash hooks, a bolt-cutter, a saw, a golf club, a hurley, a wheelbrace and several other weapons were seized by gardaí during the eruption of violence today in an 18-month-old family feud in Cork.
