Bonfire night to see extra patrols

Gardaí are to mount extra patrols in Cork City next Saturday in an attempt to quell any trouble sparked by bonfire night celebrations.

Cork City Council workers will also be on duty to monitor organised bonfires around the city and to remove material that may be used for unauthorised fires.

Superintendent Barry McPolin said extra Garda patrols would be mounted and they would also escort emergency services to the scene of unauthorised fires.
