Extra armed patrols after shootings

EXTRA armed and uniformed patrols have been deployed in Limerick in a bid to tackle the recent upsurge in shootings in the city.

The head of the Limerick Garda Chief Supt Willie Keane said the trend in Limerick to use guns in disputes in certain parts of the city was totally unacceptable.

These disputes were not connected to the major feud involving the three main crime gangs in the city.
