Jimmy Harte (Labour)

I spoke to a local sergeant in Carrigart in Donegal, a rural station. He read from a newspaper that Sinn Féin members said last summer they were monitoring the activities of Carrigart Garda station because they were not happy with how the law was being applied there. The local sergeant was applying the law and Sinn Féin was not happy with the arrangements. This was in the local press. It is not new for Sinn Féin because, as one reads in the Smithwick report, the Garda station in Dundalk was being monitored from the telephone box outside.
