Commissioner called on to ensure Waterford is HQ of planned merger with Kilkenny/Carlow division

Minister of State John Halligan has joined fellow political representatives from Waterford in calling on Garda Commissioner Drew Harris to ensure the city is the new headquarters of the planned merger with the Kilkenny/Carlow division.

All but one of the four local TDS and all 32 councillors signed a letter to Commissioner Harris urging him to chose Waterford over Kilkenny as the location of the headquarters for the amalgamated division.
