Tension after shooting tied to Traveller feud

TENSIONS are high after a weekend shooting linked to a violent feud between Traveller families in Cork and Waterford.

Gardaí stepped up patrols in the Hollyhill area of Cork city last night after the incident on Nash’s Boreen in the early hours of yesterday morning.

It was the second time this week that a gun has been fired in the lane on the city’s north side where two Traveller families live.
