Three men released after raid on estate

The men, two in their 40s and one in his late teens, were arrested during the Garda-led multi-agency operation at St Anthony’s Park in Hollyhill on Wednesday, during which guns, ammunition, bulletproof vests, and an array of other offensive weapons were seized.

The men were questioned about an aggravated burglary at a house in the Bishopstown area of the city last Friday which it is believed is linked to a feud between a Cork-based Traveller family and a Traveller family in Dublin, which in turn led to the posting of a threatening video online on Saturday.
