Meath is one of the fastest growing counties in the country. It is evident that East Meath is expanding in population at a faster rate than the rest of the county.</p><p><br></p><p>“Meath has continued to rapidly grow in population size, yet we are consistently provided with the least amount of Garda per head of population in the state. The people of County Meath suffer because of this government’s failure to provide sufficient Gardaí to match the population of our communities in Meath. The people of East Meath suffer, in particular, as a direct result of this failure.</p><p><br></p><p>Councillor Marie White joined us on The Agenda this morning to talk to us some more about this. </p><p><br></p>","author_name":"lmfm "}
