Clare’s new Chief Superintendent is being asked to consider stationing a Garda at Blake’s Corner in Ennistymon to alleviate traffic issues at peak times.
The request was made of Michael Gubbins at this week’s Joint Policing Committee by Lahinch Councillor Bill Slattery, who previously made a similar request to former Chief Superintendent John Kerin.
At that time, there was disagreement as to whether Gardaí or the Council would be responsible, and the request never came to fruition.

However, Councillor Slattery is hopeful that the change at the top, and the increased number of local Gardaí, might give rise to a re-think.
