A 29-year-old man has been remanded in custody on gun charges relating to the shooting of a woman in Cork.

The accused is charged with three offences - possessing a Smith and Wesson handgun, a 9 millimetre calibre round, and with recklessly discharging a weapon.

Gavin Sheehan made no reply when the charges were put to him.

Meanwhile, gardaí have released a man in his 60s who was arrested in Gurranabraher at around 5.00pm yesterday evening.

A woman who was arrested last Sunday was released without charge on Monday night and a file is to be prepared for the DPP.

21-year-old Ciara Sheehan remains in the intensive care unit at Cork University Hospital, where her condition is said to be stable.
