Gardaí bid to quell tensions after deaths

GARDAÍ have met with senior members of all families connected to last Thursday’s tragic road deaths in Knocknaheeny, Cork, amid growing tensions in the area.

Speaking before this morning’s funeral of 16-year-old CJ Nolan, who lost his life on Harbour View Road six days ago, Supt Con Cadigan said discussions had been taking place to quell fears over further incidents.

An increased Garda presence has been apparent in the densely-populated city suburb since the late-night deaths of Mr Nolan and 19-year-old Derry O’Callaghan.
