Green councillor slams Government plans to ‘play cops & robbers on the motorway’

A local Councillor has hit out at Government plans to spend millions on what he’s described as ‘playing cops and robbers on the motorways’.

The Justice Minister has confirmed 5.3 million euro is being spent on
new high powered cars and motorbikes, to clamp down on gangs using the country’s motorway network to carry out burglaries and other crimes.

Frances Fitzgerald says the investment will help tackle the scourge of these highly mobile gangs.

Councillor Malcolm Noonan says its no substitute for the rural Garda stations that were shut down.
