The Justice Minister has been requested to allocate more Garda resources to West Clare following a violent incident on Sunday, which left two people hospitalised. The public order incident which occurred shortly after 7pm in Miltown Malbay led to four people sustaining injuries, with a video circulating on social media showing one man bleeding profusely after an apparent attack with an article. According to An Garda Siochána, there were 69 Gardaí stationed in the West Clare area at the beginning of the year, with just one permanently assigned to Miltown Malbay. Clare Fianna Fáil TD Cathal Crowe has been telling Clare FM's Daragh Dolan that he believes the west of the county has been undermanned for far too long.
