Galway Bay fm newsroom – A Galway-based T.D is calling for a special unit to be set up at Templemore garda training college to specifically train recruits as community gardaí.
The call was made in the Dáil this week by Independent T.D Michael Fitzmaurice from Glinsk.
Deputy Fitzmaurice made the comments about training community Gardaí during a debate on the Criminal Justice Bill – Burglary of Rural Dwellings.
Deputy Fitzmaurice says that the tagging of consistent offenders is something which must be considered.
