Kilkee Councillor Says Loss Of Superintendent In West Clare Felt Amid 'Crime Spree' At Weekend

A Kilkee Councillor claims the loss of a Superintendent in the West Clare region was felt at the weekend after a number of farms were the victims of a 'crime spree'. Thieves managed to escape with a number of high-value farm equipment, including trailers and a quad bike. Superintendent John Galvin was transferred to the Ennis Garda Division in September of 2021 before his retirement this year, leaving the West Clare region without a senior-ranking member of the force since. Fianna Fáil Councillor Cillian Murphy says these types of incidents will continue without a Superintendent at the table to fight for further resources.
