Gardaí are viewing a video sent to a news outlet purporting to show the cross on Carrauntoohil being cut down.

The cross on Ireland’s highest mountain was cut down 10 days ago and reinstated at the weekend.

The garda in charge of the investigation, Supt Flor Murphy of Killarney gardaí, said it was being examined “as part of the investigation” and a number of lines of enquiry are being followed.
