Armed gardaí have been patrolling the Limerick town
The Justice Minister has described violent scenes in a Limerick town yesterday evening as 'unacceptable'.
Armed gardaí have been patrolling Rathkeale after two rival gangs were involved in a tense stand-off.
It's reported machetes were produced, while a number of jeeps were rammed.
Simon Harris says an 'enhanced policing presence' will be maintained in over Christmas.
Local councillor and chairman of Limerick's joint policing committee, Adam Teskey, says more garda resources are needed to prevent these situations from escalating:
