“It’s a national community engagement day at locations all over the country where gardaí, the IFA and Kerry Fire Service are meeting people in the community. It’s an opportunity for people to come in and ask us questions,” said Garda Mary Gardiner.
“We’re giving information about safety and how to secure their property. It’s nice for us to have the opportunity to talk to people outside of the station and give them our time to listen about the problems they have,” she added.
