Senators referred to rural Garda stations and the need for a Garda presence in certain areas. To put one garda in a hut outside my house on a 24 hour basis, which, incidentally, will not happen, would require the deployment of the equivalent of 5.2 gardaí. Manning the counter of a rural station with two gardaí on a 24 hour basis requires 10.4 gardaí. We need to realise that totally different thinking about how we marshal resources is required.
