McDowell denies failure to provide policing

JUSTICE Minister Michael McDowell has rejected claims that he failed to provide adequate community policing in the wake of the latest gangland-style killing in west Dublin.

Yesterday, detectives continued their hunt for the killer of Mark Glennon, 32, shot dead outside his home in Blanchardstown Wednesday evening.

Mr McDowell said yesterday that never before had so many gardaí and resources been deployed in the area of serious gangland crime.
