E-Scooters Turned Into Drug Tools | Cork News

Dublin police smashed a high-stakes e-scooter drug ring in the north inner city, arresting four suspects and seizing seven scooters—each now headed for destruction. The bust followed warnings from the Garda Commissioner about e-scooters being weaponized for drug trafficking, intimidation, and child endangerment. Officers intercepted cash, drugs, and fake IDs during the raid, including cocaine, cannabis, and crack cocaine worth over €2,000. With injuries to kids rising and crime surging, authorities are now seriously considering a nationwide ban on these vehicles.

Self-Represented in Legal Aid Crisis | Cork News

A 29-year-old man, Nathan Kenna, appeared in Dublin court facing assault charges after allegedly attacking Anthony Long, who died days later. The Gardaí opposed bail, and Kenna chose to represent himself—a move complicated by a nationwide legal aid crisis. A solicitor withdrew from the case over a new flat-fee system, forcing the judge to delay proceedings. Kenna remains in custody until Wednesday, when he’ll need to secure bail, possibly with cash or a surety, as the legal system grapples with its own internal turmoil.

Cork Bus Fare Hike Sparks Debate | Cork News

Cork’s buses are rolling out a new fare system with a flat €1.70 for all trips, a 90-minute transfer window, and tap-to-pay validators — promising smoother rides and better flexibility. But for many adults, it’s a price hike, especially since cash fares jump too.
