Edenderry Garda Station currently operates on a 9-5 basis.
An Offaly TD is underlining the "overwhelming need" for extra Gardaí in Edenderry after meeting the Justice Minister on the issue this week.
This comes following renewed demands for the Edenderry Garda station to operate on a 24 hour basis after the arson attack in December that claimed the lives of four year old Tadhg Farrell and 60 year old Mary Holt.
The station is currently open from 9am to 5pm.
He says people in Edenderry don't feel safe:
