Cork City will not be exposed from a security or policing perspective following the re-assignment of several gardaí from the city’s garda division to the capital in the wake of the Dublin riots.

The assurance came from Chief Superintendent Tom Myers during Monday’s meeting of the Cork City Joint Policing Committee (JPC) where he confirmed that "some gardaí" with public order training have been re-assigned to bolster the capital’s policing capabilities.
