Concern over lack of Garda superintendent in Mallow

Local politicians have expressed concern over the continued failure to appoint a superintendent to lead one of the largest Garda districts in the country, amid fears it could continue to be put on the long finger.

The concern came just hours after there were a number of new appointments of senior Garda staff in the city and county.

However, there was no appointment of a super- intendent to run the Mallow district.
