Mountmellick Garda sergeant and barracks
Flanagan called for an inquiry into the absence of a Garda sergeant in Mountmellick and the sergeant’s refusal to occupy the local barracks.
I should like to ask the Minister to retain the information he may have as I will repeat this question at a later stage in the hope that the Dáil may know the full circumstances in relation to this grave and serious matter. I ask the Minister to request the Commissioners of the Garda Síochána to inquire why there is no Garda sergeant in Mountmellick. The Garda sergeant lives in Partarlington and has refused to occupy the Garda barracks in Mountmellick. This is a total disgrace and it is the reason so many strange things are happening in the locality. There should be an immediate inquiry by the Commissioner and the Minister for Justice to investigate this serious crime. I will deal with it in this House at a later stage.
