New superintendent for county Limerick appointed
An Garda Síochána appointments and allocations announced
A NEW SUPERINTENDENT for county Limerick has been announced in the latest round of An Garda Síochána appointments and allocations.
Supt Michael Fleming has been transferred to Newcastle West garda station with responsibility for Limerick County Community Engagement Area, Limerick Garda Division.
Supt Fleming, who was previously based in the office of Deputy Commissioner, Strategy Governance and Performance, takes over from Supt Ollie Kennedy.
Supt Kennedy was appointed as the top garda for the county area in July of last year. The Tipperary man has been transferred to Roxboro Road garda station with responsibility for Limerick City South Community Engagement Area, Limerick Garda Division.
It is familiar territory for Supt Kennedy as the majority of his garda career has been spent in Limerick city.
He takes over in Roxboro from former superintendent, Paul Reidy, who has retired. Mr Reidy was also previously the "super" in county Limerick after the Bruff and Newcastle West garda districts were amalgamated.
