Delvin Community Alert held their AGM on Thursday 1st November. A summary of the key points is included below.

Garda Notes

Sergeant Bernard Heeney and Garda Niall Sheridan were in attendance. In their brief address they reminded those present to be vigilant as the darker evenings set in and to report suspicious behavior to them. They also advised that a number of scam telephone calls and texts have been reported. Outgoing Chairperson, Mick Kenny, reported that he personally had received approximately twenty of these messages in the space of a few days. Do not respond to unsolicited calls or texts!
