Summary
The Justice Minister says he's hopeful of increasing Clare's Garda complement and that he's open to reforming the Clare-Tipperary Garda Division. Minister Jim O'Callaghan visited this county on Friday as part of the 100th centenary of Fianna Fáil, where he was also the guest of honour at the latest Ennis Chamber President's Lunch at the Temple Gate Hotel. Local retailers and business owners also took their concerns to raise anti-social behaviour issues in the county town. Clare FM's Daragh Dolan was in attendance for the day's events and first questioned the Minister on the stretched resources in the Clare-Tipperary Garda Division.
