Garda reshuffle sees new head of policing in south

AN ASSISTANT Garda commissioner is to be appointed to head policing in the southern region as part of a reshuffle of senior garda personnel.

Assistant Commissioner Kevin Ludlow is moving from the southern region to take control of the south-eastern region which encompasses Carlow, Kilkenny, Waterford, Wexford and Tipperary.

A native of Co Meath, he arrived in Cork in March 2005 as a chief superintendent in charge of the city division.
