Agriculture Minister Simon Coveney has downplayed fears that a substantial number of jobs could be lost to Cork if a judicial review delays plans to build offices to house these workers.

An internet pirate who made up to £60,000 (€76,000) a month from his site which allowed people to download TV shows and films was jailed in the UK for four years today.

CORK is expected to be in line for a major jobs boost later this week with the announcement of the opening of a new private hospital.
