A media report today said that RTE is preparing to sell its southern regional studio on Cork city's Fr Matthew St, as well as more of its Dublin 4 campus, to raise funds to support its output.

A man who mugged an 83-year-old lady in Cork city centre thought he could outrun his pursuer — but found to his cost the chaser was training for a marathon.

UP to 80,000 people are expected to go on the streets of Cork today as the city officially celebrates its designation as European Capital of Culture.
