An inquest into the death of a man, gunned down in a gangland-style attack on the southside of Cork City over six years ago is set to proceed after the DPP directed there be no prosecution at this time.

GARDAÍ have issued a fresh appeal for information about the movements of a red van which was used by the gunman who killed a Cork drugs dealer on Wednesday, January 20.

A TEAM of 40 detectives aided by other Garda specialist units are trying to solve the killing of a 41-year-old Cork man.

A MAN in his 40s was fatally shot in a Cork city suburb last night, in an attack which had all the hallmarks of a gangland hit.

A MAN was last night still in critical condition in hospital after being beaten up in a row that began as a minor dispute over hurling.
