Suspended sentences for ‘revenge mission’ duo

FIVE men armed with golf clubs and sticks arrived in a Cork harbour village on a Sunday afternoon on a “revenge mission”, a court heard yesterday.

The men, seeking revenge for an attack the previous night, “squared up” to pub patrons in Crosshaven before gardaí arrived.

Three of the men had been dealt with previously by the courts. Yesterday, the remaining two were given suspended jail sentences at Cork Circuit Criminal Court.
