Loaded weapon found in Cork

Gardaí have recovered a loaded gun in a bin at a recycling centre on the outskirts of Cork city.

The loaded sawn-off double barrel shotgun was found at Forge Hill near Togher this morning.

The weapon has been removed for a forensic examination.

Gardaí say they are satisfied the gun is not linked to the murder of Darren Falsey who was shot dead in Cork earlier this month.
