'I don't know how they didn’t kill themselves' — Teenagers filmed joyriding near Cork playground

Gardaí are also investigating a burglary and the unauthorised taking of a vehicle in the early hours of Tuesday at a house near Donnybrook Hill

The teenagers were seen joyriding in the park, which recently secured €185,000 to expand its playground, on both Monday and Tuesday mornings this week.

Gardaí are investigating a burglary and potentially stolen cars after youths were filmed joyriding near a playground in a park off Cork’s Douglas Road this week.

When gardaí arrived, the youths fled the park, driving up a pedestrian path that leads to the busy Douglas swimming pool to evade capture.
