This week in the Dail, Kildare North Fianna Fail TD Naoise Ó Cearúil urged the Minister for Justice to urgently review Garda resourcing in the county and establish full-time Garda stations in Maynooth and Celbridge.
He also called on the Justice Minister to meet the local Superintendent to discuss a number of alleged assaults and incidents of intimidation.
He highlighted the county’s critical shortage of policing resources, noting that it has the second-lowest Garda-to-population ratio in the country.
Deputy Ó Cearúil raised concerns over major towns, including Maynooth, Celbridge, Clane, and Kilcock, being served only by part-time Garda stations.
He pointed out that Maynooth, with a combined population of 31,000 residents and students, lacks a full-time station, and this number is expected to grow under the Regional Spatial Economic Strategy.
Similarly, Celbridge, home to 21,000 people, has a Garda station open for just two hours per day.
