Galway Bay fm newsroom – A Glinsk based TD is warning rural burglars that they could face a gun if they targeted his home.
Roscommon South Leitrim Deputy Michael Fitzmaurice says he would do ‘whatever it takes’ to defend his family and home – even if it meant using a gun.
The former Galway County Councillor says that Gardai response times to his area would be 30 to 40 minutes – and fire has to be met with fire as break-ins in rural Ireland are reaching ‘epidemic’ levels.
The Independent deputy is slamming the government for their decision to close a high number of rural Garda stations – and says they are directly responsible for criminals operating with impunity.
Deputy Fitzmaurice says the government needs a realistic plan to tackle the crime wave that’s led to a culture of fear in rural areas:
