Wednesday's front pages focus on a range of stories, from gardaí beginning specialist training for high-risk pursuits to them targeting juvenile driving gangs.

The Irish Times reports Garda members have begun specialist pursuit training with a British police force and will begin training their colleagues in high-speed and dangerous pursuits by the end of the year.

The Irish Examiner reports Gardaí are expected to carry out “focused intelligence operations” to identify and target mainly juvenile gangs driving on the wrong side of the road.

The Echo focuses on buskers and preachers in Cork city performing outside of the designated time.
