Louth gardaí abandon station

GARDAÍ in Co Louth have abandoned their station and refused to return until a replacement one is built.

The officers based at Dromad on the Border have been temporarily assigned to nearby Hackballscross, but local policing will not be affected.

Gardaí claim the building is not fit for use as a garda station and that there have been several attacks on officers’ private cars by youths.
