Garda strength in Tipperary towns
Clonmel received an additional garda in January 1978, with extra officers assigned to Tipperary and Cashel in February; further officers were planned for Carrick-on-Suir and Cahir as resources allowed.
asked the Minister for Justice the Garda strength in Clonmel, Tipperary town, Cashel, Carrick-on-Suir, and Cahir, County Tipperary at (1) June 1977 and (2) January 1978; and if he has any proposals to allocate additional personnel to these areas.
Comment on this
Garda strength in the towns referred to in the question on 30 June 1977 was as follows:
The strength in these towns on 30 January 1978 remained unchanged except in Clonmel to which an extra garda was assigned on 6 January 1978.
Tipperary and Cashel were each assigned an extra garda on 10 February. In addition, the Garda authorities propose in the near future to assign an extra garda to each of the towns of Carrick-on-Suir and Cahir. They will further consider the needs of all five towns, together with those of other areas, according as additional manpower becomes available for assignment.
