A petition to make Edenderry Garda Station open 24 hours a day is nearing its goal.
The Justice Minister and Garda Commissioner need to hold a public meeting with residents in an Offaly town after a fatal arson attack.
That's the message from Edenderry resident Ross McCann, who has started an online petition to reopen Edenderry Garda station to 24 hours a day.
He says his past experiences there have involved struggling to get a Gardai, and giving a statement in a public car park.
The petition addressed to the Garda Commissioner and the Justice Minister is nearing its goal of 2,000 signatures in just under 48 hours.
Mr McCann says it it's needed to reassure the town:
