Ballistics report being prepared in Cork firearms case

A ballistics report is being prepared in an investigation into the case against a Cork man charged with having a sawn-off shotgun following an alleged shooting incident and high-speed chase through Cork city.

Cian Walsh, aged 29, of 17 Mercier Park, Turner’s Cross, Cork, was back before Cork District Court yesterday where Insp John Deasy said: “The file is complete. We are awaiting the return of a ballistics report.”

The inspector said a two-week adjournment was sought with the accused remanded in custody.
