Extra garda bike patrols for city
The success of the bicycle units, based in Anglesea Street and Blackrock garda stations, has prompted permission to be given to roll them out in two other stations in the city next month.
Superintendent Michael Finn said that additional units will be created at the Bridewell and Barrack Street garda stations. He also revealed that garda management in the region is looking at the possibility of establishing units in Macroom and Bandon as well, although no specific timeframe is yet known on when this may happen.
