Beara businesses unite counties in anti-crime plan

Up to 200 peninsula businesses in the South-West have join forces in a new crime prevention initiative.

The Beara Peninsula project, backed by gardaí in West Cork and South Kerry, is the first inter-county business crime watch.

Recent crime incidents, combined with the closure of garda stations, prompted the scheme, which will encompass all towns and villages between Glengarriff and Kenmare.
