Community Gardai numbers in Donegal down from 35 to 2


Latest figures released by the Government have revealed that the number of community Gardai in Donegal is down from 35 to just 2.
Donegal Senator Padriag MacLochlainn says this is a shocking revelation given community Gardai are a vital part of policing in the county.
Since 2011, community Gardai in Donegal has decreased by 33 and along with the closure of a number of Garda stations throughout the county and a dwindling number of Gardai, Senator MacLochlain says Donegal has been left with limited resources.
He says the Government is to be held responsible for the collapse of community policing:
