Plea for armed gardaí

WORRIED Limerick residents are calling for the return of the armed garda Emergency Response Unit (ERU) to the city.

It emerged this week that the ERU was recalled to Dublin, despite a spate of shootings and fears that a bloody feud could escalate.

About 30 armed officers were drafted into Limerick amid fears of reprisal shootings, following the killing of Kieran Keane on January 29.
