A knife amnesty has been called for by Cork’s Lord Mayor amid a rise in violent crime in the city and county.
Councillor Deirdre Forde’s call comes on the day of the funeral of Matt O’Neill, 29, who died on January 8 following a serious assault on December 28 in Carrigaline, one of Cork's largest commuter towns.
