Gardaí have begun a review of how they handle concerns raised by members of the public about people who have access to guns.

It follows a recommendation from a jury who examined the circumstances leading up to the deaths of three men from the same family – Tadg, Mark and Diarmuid O’Sullivan –  at a farmhouse at Raheen, near Kanturk in North Cork, last October.
