Concern at spike in violence on Tralee streets

Concerns were raised last night about a spate of violent incidents in Tralee, with long-serving town councillor Ted Fitzgerald claiming some people were now afraid to walk the streets.

Mr Fitzgerald, who raised the issue at a meeting of the Tralee Joint Policing Committee, also called on the local community to work with the gardaí to make the town safer.

“I’m very reluctant to give bad publicity to Tralee, but a number of incidents in the last few weeks can’t be ignored.”
