The sentencing hearing for four men charged in connection with an incident in which a shot was fired at members of the Garda Armed Support Unit as they attempted to search a house in Cork City, has been adjourned until next Tuesday, 21 February.

The court was told that two improvised shotguns, 20 rounds of live ammunition, slash hooks, pitch forks, a broken pool cue as well as 23 petrol bombs were among the arms found by gardaí.

Peter Keenan, 26, of Island View, Rochestown Road, Cork together with 25-year-old John Keenan of the Perrin Inn, Glengarriff in County Cork, and 19-year-old Michael James Keenan of 1 Island View, Rochestown Road, all pleaded guilty to charges relating to the incident including possession of a improvised shotgun and cartridges and 23 petrol bombs.

Such was the impact it slammed the door shut and one garda sustained minor injuries to her elbow from the impact of the discharged carriage. Inspector Coholan said a television in the room was showing live CCTV footage of the front and back of the house and in 15 years he had never come across a cartridge that was not live.
