A Roscommon Deputy has called on the Garda Commissioner to review the processes currently in place for Garda transfers.
Deputy Claire Kerrane has written to the Garda Commissioner, having been contacted recently by a Garda from the County, stationed away from home, who has been on the transfer list for years.

She has been speaking to Midwest Radio's Alannah Nolan....
