Impact:

The closing of the Garda stations around Ireland is damaging the communities that the station is built around. There have been many complaints from people that they feel a lot less secure in their homes as the stations closure means that many people don't have instant or as instant access to the Gardaí if need be.
                                
This is a video of a civilian complaining about how he feels unsafe in his own home. As he feels that Gardaí may not be able to help him if need be.




There has been a noticeable increase in crime around the areas where the Garda stations have closed this gives the residents of this area good reason to be annoyed about the closure of the stations.
