That claim was made yesterday by Labour TD Kathleen Lynch, who said she would be tabling a Dáil question to Minister for Justice, Michael McDowell, asking him about garda manpower levels in Cork.

“ASBO’S (Anti-Social Behaviour Orders) won’t work because there aren’t enough gardaí out there to enforce them,” Deputy Lynch said.
