Supt Sean O'Meara & Cllr Pat Fitzpatrick - Local Community Safety Partnership - 19/08/2026

Dermot Keyes from KCLR News spoke with Supt Sean O'Meara following the Local Community Safety Partnership meeting at County Hall. He put two questions to him, the first relating to the increase in assaults of a minor nature and public order offences on a year-on-year basis during Q2 2026 and to ensure that reckless driving was tackled as effectively as possible. He also spoke with Local Community Safety Partnership Chair Cllr Pat Fitzpatrick in which he asked him how the new policing model is working in Kilkenny and ends with a question about the Garda response to poor driver behaviour..
