City pleads for better links with gardaí

WATERFORD’S rapidly expanding community needs closer links with gardaí in an effort to clamp down on crime, according to a city councillor.

Labour Party Councillor Seamus Ryan said it is time for a community policing forum in Waterford City as well as a garda substation in his area of the city.

It is imperative that we re-examine how we police our communities, he said.
