Community group donates sat-navs to gardaí in bid to stave off gangs

How do you make sure gardaí respond promptly to your 999 call? Simple — gift them a sat-nav for their patrol car.

That’s what one community alert group has done to protect themselves from rampaging criminal gangs.

Dunderrow Community Alert chairman, Ger O’Leary confirmed they paid for GPS mapping systems to be installed in two patrol cars in Kinsale, Co Cork, last week.
