Plans to merge Longford with Roscommon and Mayo in a major overhaul of garda divisional boundaries has come in for criticism
Moves to annex the current Roscommon/Longford Garda Division with Mayo needs to be revisited, according to Fine Gael's Longford general election candidate Cllr Micheal Carrigy.
“Personally, I wouldn't be in favour of us (Longford) being aligned with Mayo,” he said.

Cllr Carrigy also called for the new district headquarters to be centrally located when the changes do come into effect.
