Football jersey sparks attack on Cork family by Irish holidaymakers

AN Irish family on holidays in Spain was viciouslyattacked by a mob of fellow Irish holidaymakers because one of them was wearing a Cork football jersey.

The victims, from Farranree, Cork, blamed a small group of young drunken Dubliners for the unprovoked attack on the Costa del Sol after the All-Ireland final on Sunday.

They were scratched, punched, and dragged on to the ground and were then kicked about the head by a gang of up to 10 men and women.
