Gardaí in Cork are investigating an incident in which a device - believed to be a petrol bomb - was thrown into a garda van conducting speed checks last night.

THE small road in north Cork where David Brett’s body was found was regularly used by strangers to carry out drug deals, according to locals.

Gardaí investigating the country’s latest gangland killing will today resume searches of a beach on the Co Meath coast where a man was brutally shot dead.
