Macroom gardaí call for speedy delivery of new station
Gardaí in Macroom are calling for the speedy delivery of a new garda station. The Garda Representative Association have been campaigning for over a decade to secure a new station as they say the current facilities are not fit for purpose and do not comply with health and safety standards. A planned walk out in 2010 was averted when a last minute deal was struck to purchase a site for the new station, however four years on confirmation of the purchase has only just been secured. It's now feared that the planning and construction phase could take the same length of time. AUDIO: GRA representative for the members of Cork West Division Jason Collins told RedFM News that intervention is needed as gardaí have had enough. Click the PLAY button above to hear.
