Milford Garda Station
Concerns were expressed over the future of the Milford Garda station at the latest Joint Policing Committee (JPC) meeting.
Committee member and former Garda Sergeant James Trearty said there was genuine concern locally about the lack of manpower saying it had been "run into the road with regard to manpower."
He referred to a number of Garda stations including Churchill and Doochary which have been sold on.
He also cited villages like Kerrykeel, Annagry, Ramelton, Rathmullan, Carrigart and Burtonport which he said had virtually no manpower.
"That's a vast track of area and I would be very concerned and I would like for this committee to be informed if there are plans to close Milford Garda Station."
However, in her direct response, Garda Chief Superintendent Goretti Sheridan said that there are no plans to close Milford Garda Station or downgrade it from being a 24 hour station.
"Milford Garda Station will never close. It is a 24 hour station and Milford Garda Station will remain a 24 hour station," Garda Chief Superintendent Goretti Sheridan said.
