Wexford Cllr wants Gorey Garda station upgraded in new programme for Goverment

Wexford Cllr wants Gorey Garda station upgraded in new programme for Goverment

According to reports the programme includes an agreement that up to 6 local Garda stations be reopened, subject to review.

Wexford councillor Malcolm Byrne says there's one station in the county which must get priority.

"The last goverment downgraded the garda station in Gorey from its previous district status, and so as part of the new government review I would certainly be looking for Gorey to be re-upgraded to district status.

And in addition given the fact Co Wexford has among of the lowest number of Gardai per capita in the state, that as additional Gardai become available that they would be allocated to the county."
