A joint funeral is to be held on Saturday for two brothers from Cork who died of separate drug overdoses within a two-week period — with their mother losing three sons in all to drugs and another from a health condition.

Christine Kavanagh, aged 65, from Gurranabraher on the northside of Cork city, is calling on the Government to allocate more resources for people who battle addiction.
