The chairmen and secretaries of the Lios Dubh and Armagh Road/Lennon Melia Residents’ Associations held a “very productive” meeting last night.

The meeting was called to discuss the growing number of break-ins in the area, with the hope being that a Neighbourhood Watch scheme can be setup to help combat the problem.

The meeting was arranged by local gardaí Eugene Collins and Paul Burke and attended by Sinn Féin councillors Jennifer Green and Edel Corrigan.

Speaking after the meeting, Cllr Green said: “It was a very informative and productive meeting and we are moving forward to set up a neighbourhood watch scheme in the area and also tie in with An Garda Síochána frequently to express any concerns or worries the residents may have.”
