Two men are due in court in Cork this morning, in connection with a high speed chase in which a Garda was seriously injured.

The men - both in their late 20s - were arrested in the Lower Kileens area near Blarney yesterday.

The motorcycle Garda suffered back, rib and neck injuries after a crash during the high speed pursuit yesterday morning, and he's being treated at Cork University Hospital.

The men will appear at a special sitting of Cork District Court later.
