Four men arrested after the attempted firebombing of a house in Co Cork are due before the Special Criminal Court this morning.

It is believed the four - in their late teens and early twenties - will be charged with membership of an illegal organisation.

During the incident in Little Island, a van with containers of petrol in the back was reversed onto the front lawn of the house and set alight.

A file on this matter is to be sent to the Director of Public Prosecutions.
