Image: PA Image: PA TWO MEN HAVE been arrested in relation to the attempted armed robbery of a bookmakers in Cork two years ago.On 15 September 2018, three men entered the Bar One Racing bookmakers in Glanmire wearing balaclavas and carrying hammers, as well as what appeared to be a gun.

The men struggled with a staff member as well as a member of the public, before leaving empty-handed in a waiting car. Shop manager Tim Murphy spoke to Cork’s Red FM about the ordeal at the time. He said he was being threatened by two of the men when 83-year-old Denis O’Connor stepped in. I remember Denis shouting, ‘You’re cowards, you’re total cowards.’ Denis is just a total hero, when I saw him taking one of them on, he just totally inspired me.
