CLONDALKIN Sinn Féin Councillor Matthew McDonagh has appealed for calm following this weekend's fatal shooting of Pierce Reid in Lealand in Clondalkin.
Councillor McDonagh condemned those who carried out the killing as well as those who carried out a second gun attack where a number of shots were fired at the door and windows of a house in the area four hours after the first shooting. It has been reported that Gardaí believe this may have been carried out in retaliation for the murder.
Councillor McDonagh said:
"I urge people to be calm in the wake of these attacks and I condemn whoever was iresponsible for the murder of Pierce Reid and the later attack on a house in Lealand.
"I call on the Government to look at the number of gardaí currently stationed in Clondalkin – there just aren't enough gardaí to deal with the rise of gun crime and anti-social behaviour.
“We need more gardaí on the streets of Clondalkin, gardaí who will serve the community and who will work constructively with the local communities to address the alarming rise in gun-related crimes."
