The group said: "We're proposing to hold a peaceful, silent, candle light protest on Sunday evening in town.

"We need to highlight the fact that the town is seriously neglected by those in power.

"We are seeing an unprecedented rise in crime, antisocial behaviour and even serious crime, whilst we have barely any garda presence, or let's face it, NO real garda presence at all.

"We cannot tolerate this any longer.

"Please show your support on Sunday evening, meeting at 5pm at the cathedral car park, Pound St.

"We will then walk in silence to the garda barracks.
