## Resource

Calls are continuing across Clare for an increase in the amount of Gardai deployed for duty in the county. It follows on from Justice Minister Jim O'Callaghan visiting here last week, where he heard of safety concerns from local business owners, retailers, and elected representatives. This included in Ennistymon where issues around growing anti-social behaviour problems were raised, along with a recent spate of local car thefts In Ennis, a deputation of town centre retailers and business owners detailed ongoing challenges to Minister O’Callaghan, including persistent anti-social behaviour, the intimidation of customers, and rising retail theft. Meelick Fianna Fail TD Cathal Crowe is calling for increased Garda personnel for Clare, while Fianna Fail councillor Shane Talty was among those who met with the Minister in Ennistymon last week. To discuss this further, Cathal Crowe and Sahne Talty joined Derrick Lynch on Tuesday's Morning Focus. Photo (c) An Garda Siochana
