Four men who are allegedly members of a Lithuanian organised crime gang that was under garda surveillance in Cork City were remanded in custody for two weeks on Wednesday.
Solicitor Eddie Burke, who represented the four accused, complained of the delay in the case where the defendants have been in custody since March 25, but Sergeant Gearóid Davis said that there was progress in the case as the garda file was sent to the Director of Public Prosecutions on August 18.
