7 Garda cars out of service due to mileage

SEVEN Garda patrol cars have been decommissioned in parts of Co Cork due to excessive mileage.

And a similar number may be taken out of service in Cork city over the next few months.

That’s according to the organisation representing the country’s rank and file gardaí who claim the lack of new replacement vehicles will cause serious problems to frontline gardaí trying to deliver a proper service.
