CORK drug dealer David “Boogie” Brett who was shot dead on Monday night appears to have been the victim of a professional hit.

THE Green Party has called on Sinn Féin to clarify the status of constituency activist Sean Kind, who got a six-year sentence yesterday in the Special Criminal Court for possessing firearms.

A Cork man described as a "dedicated republican" and anti-drugs campaigner was jailed for six years today for possession of firearms for an unlawful purpose.
