An Garda Síochána
Dail Éireann — 2022-02-17
============================================================

Denis Naughten (IND), Roscommon-Galway

Recent media coverage of robberies, burglaries and assaults on women in rural areas creates widespread fear and insecurity, particularly for older people in rural areas. We can only provide reassurance when the gardaí are given the resources. I accept we cannot have a garda at every crossroads but we need a visible community policing presence across the country.
