The Dáil has heard about a young Garda from Abbeyknockmoy who is desperately seeking a transfer from Dublin back to the West.

Raising her case, Galway East TD Pete Roche said the woman, who has a young child and a house in Abbeyknockmoy, has been "pleading" for a transfer since 2021.

But he said it's not happening - and he suggested cases like this could lead to Gardaí losing experienced and valuable members.
