At this moment in time, there are far too few Gardai on patrol in Ireland compared to the number of pedestrians on the streets. The streets would be much safer if more Gardai were available to monitor them. However, Gardai colleges don't accept that many applicants each year. In particular, the Templemore Gardai College accepts few applications to join the college every year.
The purpose of this petition is to get measurable evidence that's shows how people are currently unhappy with the number of Gardai on active control, and to demand that colleges such as Templemore Gardai College accept more applicants every year.
Your signature could make all the difference, so please sign this petition.

I set this page up because I was frustrated by empty sidewalks and have been overwhelmed by how many of you feel the exact same way. The messages I am reading from you about your concerns for safety are truly eye opening. This momentum belongs entirely to the people who took the time to add their names.

I am honestly overwhelmed by how many people feel the same way about our streets. This momentum belongs entirely to you because I never imagined this many people would join in.

Been saying this for years. Nobody feels safe walking home anymore.
About time! The streets are a free for all at night.
Living in town has gotten so dodgy lately. Can't remember the last time I saw a guard on foot patrol around here.
TOTALY AGREE. FIX THIS NOW.
Need more boots on the ground definitely. The guards are stretched way too thin.
:D
wow

My local station is like a ghost town half the time. Sort it out.
