Calls have been made for increased Garda presence in a number of Co Limerick towns after a spate of high-profile incidents of violence and anti-social behaviour in recent months.

The calls come after a number of dogs were killed in a suspected arson attack in Kilmallock earlier this month, while in Abbeyfeale, in September, a man in his 20s was hospitalised after an assault in the town square.
