Community Information Night about Crime Prevention and Community Text Alert

A very informative night was held in Doohamlet Community Hall on Wednesday the 17th April.

Sgt. Noel Harraghy, Crime Prevention Officer for the Cavan Monaghan Garda Division, assisted by Garda Paul Durley of Castleblayney Garda Station gave an eye-opening talk about crime in Cavan and Monaghan, ways to protect and secure your home, and information about staying vigilant and watching for suspicious activity. For some ideas on what was discussed, see An Garda Siochana's Crime Prevention Leaflets.


Vanessa Clarke, Liaison Officer with Muintir na Tire gave an overview of their Community Text Alert Scheme - an initiative aimed at making Community Members aware of suspicious local activity, keeping the Community up to date about local news and events, and promoting participation in the Community.

The DDCDA would like to thank our guest speakers who gave such valuable advice and information. We will now consider how we can best roll out a Text Alert Scheme in our Community - watch this space for more info!
