Gardai have put in place a traffic management plan ahead of a memorial service for the late cervical cancer awareness campaigner Vicky Phelan who died almost two weeks ago as hundreds are expected to descend on the Co Kilkenny village where she grew-up.
Her case prompted more than 220 other women to come forward over misreported smear test results and led to several reviews of the State’s cervical cancer screening programme, CervicalCheck and a damning report by Dr Gabriel Scally who said it was “doomed to fail”. In a statement issued by the Waterford/Kilkenny/Carlow Garda division explained that the Church where the memorial is being held is located on the N24 at the Carrick-on-Suir side of Mooncoin village and can be easily accessed by foot or road.
Gardai have set-out access to the event and are advising that traffic approaching from the Dublin/Waterford direction will be diverted at Dawn Meats Grannagh toward parking areas within the factory grounds. A park and ride facility will be provided at this location. The garda statement continues: “A park-and-ride facility will be in place from 11am to bring patrons from locations at Dawn Meats and Piltown GAA grounds to the Church of the Assumption and Mooncoin GAA complex.
“We hope that Sunday's gathering will be all that Vicky hoped it would be, an opportunity for family, friends & the wider public to join with us in this celebration of her life.”

Senior garda says garda stations are not places for mental health patientsA senior garda has told the Policing Authority that the State depends on gardaí to manage mental health patients outside of office hours because HSE staff are not on duty. Disgraceful. Defunct mental health service. The guards will have to start teaching medicine in Templemore. That works so well in America

Gardai arrest 'world's dumbest criminal' driving stolen car home from courtThe car thief had already been in court that day - and was promptly arrested on their way home again This is my son’s car that was stolen. The ridiculous thing is we reported it the day of. We never even knew it was found till this article was released. When we reported it, no Garda came to our house or even our area. We called about new evidence we had, the day after. We got no answer from the Garda on the case. Called back again the next day. Was given an email that I sent the cctv footage to along with other stuff. No answer. My son even called again yesterday, they had no updates at all. They hadn’t even known the car was found 2 days ago!! Sorry 3 days ago!! This morning my son’s friend sent him this article. After calling city centre police station it was confirmed to be his car. This is ridiculous! There was no communication or help at all from Garda. Thank you to the news for being better help than Garda.

New law allowing garda use of bodycams to go to Cabinet ‘within weeks’Drew Harris said there is a well-developed market for bodycams and that concerns expressed about civil liberties have been addressed elsewhere in Europe where they are in use. Just give them bloody bod-cams for f.. and stop making a bloody song and dance about it. Oh gosh I wish my local garda had body cams, their illegal harassment would be on record. I'd say many officers will lose their jobs if they wear them. Sunlight us good. corruptrootandbranch Don’t forget they would have to switch them on

Shortcomings in Garda response to domestic violence heard at policing meeting“What people want when they contact An Garda Siochana, they want to know whatever crime they’ve reported is investigated and we hear, repeatedly in the area of domestic violence, there are very serious shortcomings.” I'm subject to constant harassment and stalking. His school freinds in the guarda exacerbate any call out by doing whatever he wants. Because they aren't their to uphold the law, but to uphold their misogynist racist lads culture. corruptrootandbranch
