Hopes extra Garda in Loughgeorge will help tackle ’huge spate’ of burglaries

There are hopes that the addition of an extra Garda in Loughgeorge will help tackle burglaries in the area.

Athenry-Oranmore councillor James Charity says there has been a 'huge spate' of burglaries across the district in the previous year.

He says that while all new resources into Loughgeorge are welcome - more could be done to combat crime in the area.

Coucillor Charity outlines the changes he would like to see for policing in the area.
