I have been informed by the Garda authorities, who are responsible for the detailed allocation of Garda resources, including personnel, that the personnel strength of Ferns Garda station as at 9 February 2005 was one garda. Ferns Garda station is in the Enniscorthy administrative area of the Enniscorthy rural policing initiative and is open Monday to Saturday inclusive from 10 a.m to 11a.m. Local Garda management is satisfied that existing available resources at Ferns are adequate to deal with the present policing needs of the area.
