Off-duty gardaí in Cork city punched repeatedly by topless men

Two of the men involved have since been convicted of murder at a Kerry cemetery

The two gardaí identified themselves but this did not deter the attackers.

Two off-duty members of An Garda Síochána were attacked by three men who assumed the stance of boxers as they stripped to the waist and punched them repeatedly on a night out in Cork city.

Sergeant Eamon Feehan said the two gardaí identified themselves as gardaí but this did nothing to deter the attackers.
