Three men  charged by Gardaí targeting violent disorder incidents in Cork.

It comes after Gardaí searched seven residential properties in the Charleville area today.

They seized quantities of cannabis and confiscated 30 implements - including slash hooks, machetes, and two petrol bombs.

Earlier today, four men, aged between 18 and 40, were arrested and questioned at Garda stations in North Cork; one was released and the other three charged.
