Police chief points to success of anti-gang laws

THE head of the Limerick Garda Division yesterday pledged to continue using the new anti-gang legislation to tackle serious criminality in the city.

Chief Supt David Sheahan told the County Limerick Joint Policing Committee (JPC) that gardaí would continue to use the new laws, having used them to good effect in recent weeks.

His comment was a reference to the arrests of nine people with links to the McCarthy Dundon gang who are still in custody, having been charged and remanded at Limerick District Court.
