I suppose it is a case of urban versus rural but on his travels did Mr. Olson get a sense of loss in terms of the rural Garda stations? Small stations were closed down and people were moved into the towns. Some would argue that was more cost effective than having a garda based in a small village. Others would argue that a garda based in a village or small town would have local knowledge and therefore would be better from an investigation point of view. Did Mr. Olson come across that and what were his views on it?
