Armed gardaí still on duty following further feud-related violence

MEMBERS of the armed Garda Regional Response Unit were still on duty in the St Martin’s Park area of Tralee yesterday, following a further outbreak of violence in a continuing feud between two Traveller families.

Up to 20 Tralee gardaí were tasked to the St Martin’s Park/Mitchels area over the weekend to deal with incidents and it was later decided to deploy two groups of the response unit from Cork.

Windows were smashed in eight cars and some damage had also been caused to houses.
