Gardaí are hunting for two men who threatened post office staff with a hatchet and a hammer during a raid yesterday in Cork City.

The Irish subsidiary of a British tour operator has had its licence to operate revoked.

The family of a HSE official had last week moved out of their home in Cork, in fear, because a man before the court allegedly daubed offensive graffiti on cemetery headstones at a republican plot and painted the innocent man’s name and phone number on the graves.
