Ireland boosts local policing with new recruits in five counties, enhancing community safety.

Ireland is boosting local policing with new Garda (police) recruits across several counties. Cavan, Louth, Mayo, Tipperary, and Meath are seeing additional officers, aimed at increasing visible policing and community safety. This follows a significant 27% funding increase for policing since 2020, totaling €2.48 billion. The deployment of these new recruits is part of the government's effort to strengthen community safety and support local stations.
