Group to lobby against any closures of rural one-man garda stations

A NEW organisation is to be formed this week to oppose any closures of rural garda stations in parts of the south-west.

The move follows concerns that the Minister for Justice and Garda Commissioner want to close scores of one-man garda stations as part of cost-cutting measures.

‘Resistance To Barrack Closures’ will be formed at a meeting which will be held in Drinagh, Co Cork, on Friday at 8pm.
