Councillor Bill Clear highlights potential consequences for Kildare amidst Garda division merger.
Locals have expressed concern over Garda resource changes.
Cllr Bill Clear said Kildare, as one of the fastest growing counties, could suffer as a result of the merging of the Kildare Garda division with Carlow.
Following a review requested by the Garda Commissioner and conducted by an Assistant Commissioner, the Garda Senior Leadership Team has decided to re-configure the composition of certain three-county Divisions under the Garda Operating Model.
The three-county Divisions reviewed were:
- Laois/Offaly/Kildare
- Waterford/Kilkenny/Carlow
- Donegal/Sligo/Leitrim
Under the revised Divisional structures, the Divisions will be:
- Waterford/Kilkenny
- Kildare/Carlow
- Laois/Offaly
- Sligo/Leitrim
- Donegal
The review included leadership interviews, and consultation with internal and external stakeholders.
