Key Limerick crime units to be disbanded under new garda roster plan

Crime fighting units that have been key to gardaí toppling Limerick drug gangs and putting gangland criminals behind bars, are to be disbanded as a consequence of the Garda Commissioner’s controversial working hours plan.
Garda management in Limerick “informed members attached to community policing that their units were being disbanded, and they were being reassigned to core frontline duties”, Garda Frank Thornton of the Garda Representative Association (GRA) said.
