I am also informed that Garda management is satisfied that the present Garda personnel strength at Ballymahon is adequate in meeting the current policing needs of the area. The situation will, however, be kept under review and when additional Garda personnel next become available, the needs of Ballymahon will be fully considered within the overall context of the needs of Garda districts throughout the country.
