A Westmeath Garda station has seen a pronounced drop in the number of officers based there, despite an overall increase in the size of the force last year.
An Irish Independent report has found there's 24 less gardaí in Mullingar than the year previous.
It's one of several stations to sustain a loss of twenty of more by the end of 2024.
Wile almost a quarter of the country’s Garda stations had fewer gardaí at the end of 2024 than at the start of the year.
Official figures from the Department of Justice show one in ten stations don't have a designated Garda on hand.
However, Arles station in Laois has seen a return of their designated garda.
It's believed that implementation of the new Garda Operating Model is responsible for the reallocation of gardaí.
