Galway's New Policing Push | Ireland News

Galway’s stepping up its safety game with a bold new policing push—13 gardai now patrol seven key zones daily under a High Visibility Policing Plan targeting crime hotspots like drug dealing, aggressive begging, and shoplifting. Backed by a pro-arrest policy for repeat offenders and stronger bail objections, this initiative draws from proven success in Dublin, Limerick, and Cork. Fuelled by community feedback and rising crime trends, the plan also includes 28 new recruits, a Community Engagement Van, and ongoing work by plainclothes units—all aimed at rebuilding trust, boosting safety, and keeping Galway welcoming for everyone.
