I am informed by the Garda authorities that there are currently no plans to establish additional Garda stations in Waterford city. The Garda authorities also point out that the provision of additional Garda stations in Waterford city would necessitate the deployment of additional Garda personnel to indoor administrative duties. Such personnel can be utilised more effectively in providing a visible Garda presence on outdoor policing duties.
