Limerick received no recruits from the most recent graduates from Templemore. There is a sense of urgency particularly in rural east Limerick because people are very frightened. On foot of that burglary we had further burning of hay barns. The local gardaí have put an operation in place which dealt with the matter and has been successful. I have asked a direct question. When will we see extra gardaí deployed on the ground in rural east Limerick?
