Gangs cannot turn Clare into the lawless ‘Wild West’ by Páraic McMahon paraic@clareecho.ie
CRIMINAL GANGS in the county “must live by the same set of laws” as everyone else, a Clare TD has said. Christmas Day feuds resulted in a rampage on the Mill Rd in Ennis where multiple cars were damaged, weapons were brandished and a death threat was issued in reference to a prison sentence handed out to one family member. Following the latest instance of violence in the county, Clare TD, Cathal Crowe (FF) has written to the Garda Commissioner,
Drew Harris urging him to fully utilise the Armed Response Unit, manpower from beyond the Clare Garda Division and the Criminal Assets Bureau “to take to task those who make up their own laws. Criminal gangs cannot turn County Clare into a lawless ‘Wild West’ and law and order must prevail”. Deputy Crowe stated, “I am pretty sick of feuds in Clare holding our county to ransom and putting innocent lives at risk. I have, again, seen footage of far too many acts of thuggery, violence and criminality over the Christmas period”.
