Public Order Crisis in Castlebar?
Claims by community leaders in Castlebar that the town has become a “no-go area” on Friday and Saturday nights have been denied by the Gardai. The latest claims come in the aftermath of incidents in the town last weekend, in which a number of people were seriously assaulted and damage was caused to a number of vehicles. While the Gardai admitted there were public order issues, they said they were no worse than in any other town of its size in the country.
