FF TD says Government has done 'virtually nothing' to confront threat of gangland crime

Fianna Fáil has said it will increase the headcount in An Garda Síochána by 2,000 at a cost of €47 million per year.

At a briefing to launch the party’s drug and crime policies in Dublin, the party’s justice spokesman Jim O’Callaghan said that, should the party be in a position to form the next Government, a number of heightened measures would be employed in order to deal with the expansion of gangland crime across the country.
