Limerick cannot ‘take the foot off the policing pedal’ says new mayor Kieran O'Hanlon

The newly elected mayor of Limerick City and County yesterday warned there can be no let-up in the fight against crime in the city.

Cllr Kieran O’Hanlon of Fianna Fáil, who was elected through a pact with Fine Gael, said the one thing the city cannot allow happen is to “take the foot off the policing pedal”.

“Our gardaí in Limerick have done remarkable work in smashing the grip that gangland activity had here and we need to ensure they continue to win this fight.
