Minister for Children, Disability, Equality and Kerry T.D Norma Foley said; “I am delighted to confirm that four new gardaí graduating from Templemore today are en route to Kerry. This is a further strengthening of garda resources in the county.”
Deputy Cahill said: “I warmly welcome the allocation of four new Gardaí to Kerry. These new members will make a real difference in Killarney, Listowel and Tralee, while the wider recruitment programme will also facilitate consequential transfers across the country, which can bring further benefits to divisions such as Kerry in the months ahead.”
