The dangers that face Midlands prison officers in the wake of a recent vicious attack on a female prison officer in Mountjoy Prison..where she was kicked and slashed with a prison made weapon called a 'shiv' ..as she and her male colleague (who was also injured) were trying to break up a fight amongst inmates.
Also, concerns in Rathdowney in Co.Laois over the possible relocation of staff and residents of Erkina House to Tullamore in Co.Offaly. A public meeting was held this week as councillors and TDs look for a solution from the HSE.
And...uproar in Roscrea over plans to create a new street!...Traders aren't happy at all!
