Two men being questioned over Cork hostage situation

Gardaí are continuing to question two men in their 20's after a hostage situation in Cork in the early hours of this morning.

A couple in their 50's are receiving treatment at Cork University Hospital after they were freed by armed Gardaí.

They had been held hostage in their home for around 5 hours when members of the Regional Support unit stormed into the house and overpowered the two men using a taser.
