A man is in a critical condition after he was pulled from a river.
GARDAÍ HAVE LAUNCHED an investigation after a woman’s body was discovered in a burning car in north Cork.
The body of the woman, who was in her 70s, was found in the Doneraile area of north Cork this afternoon.
A man, who is understood to be in his 50s, was rescued from a river shortly after gardaí conducted a search of the area. He is in a serious condition.
