What John McCartin said on "Claire Byrne Live" last night brings into sharp focus the litany of criminal acts perpetrated against Kevin Lunney and the directors and staff of Quinn Industrial Holdings over a long period. It is against a backdrop of diminished Garda resources, the closure of Garda stations such as the one in Blacklion, reduced Garda hours in Ballyconnell, from a 24-hour to a 12-hour Garda station, and, of course, empty promises of a new Garda station in Bailieborough. Will the Minister for Justice and Equality confirm that the Government will finally listen and act on the consistent calls for enhanced Garda resources, with specialist units in the Border area?
