I am informed by the Garda authorities that the question of allocating a patrol car to Maynooth station is currently being examined in the light of transport resources generally in the Naas Garda District.
I am also informed by the Garda authorities that the patrolling arrangements for the Maynooth and Celbridge areas will continue to be closely monitored to ensure that all available Garda resources will be deployed to best advantage in these areas, particularly in the coming weeks.
