A Garda investigation is under way after a teenage girl suffered suspected knife wounds in a row over a mobile phone in a house in East Cork.

It is believed the girl, 17, was involved in an argument over access to the phone in the house in Youghal moments before the alleged incident at around 5.20pm on Friday.
