Cecilia Keaveney
Question:203 Cecilia Keaveney asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform his views on whether there can be any sense of community policing taking place, in view of the fact that there is often no garda residing in villages to be in a position to get to know the locals, both established and new and that gardaí are disappearing from rural stations all over Inishowen, while at the same time the population base particularly in all of the Border villages, be it Newtowncunningham, Carrigans, Killea, Bridgend, Burnfoot, Muff is increasing at a staggering rate; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
