‘Gangs are relentless but not unstoppable’, says Justice Minister

The two gangs now engaged in a “cycle of revenge and retaliation” are “relentless, but not unstoppable”, Justice Minister Frances Fitzgerald has said.

Speaking after a meeting with Garda Commissioner Nóirín O’Sullivan and her senior officers, Ms Fitzgerald said they would “stand down this threat”.

She announced an extra €5m, which, she claimed, would provide “saturation policing” in the city.
