100 extra gardaí to tackle feud gangs

THE deployment of 100 extra gardaí into Limerick as part of a major city regeneration plan will begin with immediate effect.

The plan, drawn up by former Dublin city manager John Fitzgerald, was given Government approval on Tuesday.

After meeting with city council representatives, senior gardaí and community leaders in Limerick yesterday, Mr Fitzgerald said the 100 extra gardaí, along with a superintendent, would be in place within five months.
