Imelda Munster (Louth, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

I refer to page 96 of the programme for Government. We desperately need more gardaí in Drogheda. I raised this on two occasions recently prior to the escalation of the ongoing feud. The situation in Drogheda now is frightening, dangerous and dire. I am personally aware of at least three mothers who have put their sons on planes out of the country in the past month alone for their own safety. Mothers have been pleading for help as homes are attacked and large sums of money are demanded of parents.
