Minister vows to restore law to Limerick

THE Minister for Justice last night pledged to restore law and order to Limerick.

Minister Michael McDowell held an emergency meeting yesterday with Garda Commissioner Pat Byrne and Deputy Commissioner Noel Conroy to draw up a plan in response to the escalation of violent crime in the city.

Afterwards he said nobody was above the law. “The law is there and everyone in Limerick should uphold the law and stand by the forces of law,” he said.
