'Downgrading strategically located garda districts...is doomed to failure'

The downgrading of a key garda station along the border between Cavan and Fermanagh has resulted in police being unable to provide an effective service, frontline gardaí have said.

A garda representative for the Cavan-Monaghan Division was commenting on police resources as gardaí continue their investigation into the kidnapping of company director Kevin Lunney in Fermanagh and his detention and torture in Cavan.
