The owner of a busy Cork City cafe has urged others to take note after he got a warning about illegal downloads of music on his wifi network.

Paul Walsh, who runs the popular 3 Little Piggies on Union Quay, just yards from the Cork School of Music, said anyone who offers wifi to the public should be aware of the issue.
