Gardaí 'monitoring the situation' after Cork families exchange of threatening Facebook messages

Gardaí have said they are aware of an exchange of threatening social media messages between two Cork City-based families and are monitoring the situation.

Garda HQ also stressed that the posting of the messages on Facebook is not connected with violent incidents that have occurred in recent days in Cork City, including an assault in Blackpool and an attack in Mayfield in which someone was set on fire in their home.
