Cavan Monaghan Sinn Féin TD, Deputy Matt Carthy, has told the Dáil this week that people in Co. Monaghan feel unsafe walking down the streets of towns and villages. Deputy Carthy accused the government of failing to listen to the concerns of local communities, businesses and visitors to towns and cities.
Deputy Carthy also told the Taoiseach that increased garda resources for Dublin City, while much needed, cannot be at the expense of counties such as Cavan and Monaghan.
Addressing Leo Varadkar in the Dáil on Tuesday, Deputy Carthy said: "Dublin is under-policed, there are not enough Gardaí in our capital city. That is beyond doubt since last Thursday."
