GARDAÍ are warning ATM users in Cork to be extra vigilant after a skimming device was recovered from a bank machine outside a supermarket last weekend.

THOUSANDS of people are to be recruited for a new text-messaging service, which gardaí hope will aid them further in their fight against criminals.

SCORES of bank customers could be victims of a gang which placed a skimming machine on an ATM in Co Cork.

A PROJECT, believed to be the first of its type in the county, will see some community alert and neighbourhood watch schemes go hi-tech, with near instantaneous information on crime being made available by gardaí through multiple text messaging.

JOHN QUANE is unlikely to be in the starting 15 when the Limerick selectors sit down tomorrow night to pick their team for Sunday’s Munster SFC final against Kerry.
