Five young men charged over violent disorder

Five young men were arrested and charged yesterday with engaging in violent disorder at Skehard Rd in Cork just over a year ago.

Detective Garda David O’Callaghan formally arrested the five for the purpose of charging them at Cork District Court. Four were dealt with in open court and a fifth at a juvenile sitting.

Inspector John Deasy said the Director of Public Prosecutions had decided that the cases against the four should be dealt with by indictment at Cork Circuit Criminal Court.
