Gardaí plan text service to fight crime

Gardaí are planning to introduce a text messaging service to communities in North Cork which will aid them in the fight against crime.

They are inviting people to an open meeting which will be held tonight in Fermoy Community Youth Centre at 7.30pm to discuss progressing the project.

The initiative is being headed by Supt Michael Comyns, who is in charge of a Garda district which encompasses the Fermoy, Mitchelstown, Ballyhooly, Castletownroche, Glanworth, Kildorrery, Kilworth, Araglin, and Rathcormac areas.
