Justice Minister Frances Fitzgerald is to be asked to ensure that applications for the Garda Reserve are processed, following a motion from Fianna Fáil Justice spokesman Niall Collins at last Monday’s meeting of Limerick City and County Council’s Joint Policing Committee. Deputy Collins said that many Limerick people were keen to get involved and give back to their local communities and the button needed to be pushed on the application process. The duties of Garda reservists include monitoring CCTV, foot patrol accompanied by full-time Garda members, and providing cordons at major events such as festivals and sporting events.
