Clare's Fianna Fail TD is calling on the government to increase investment in Garda resources.
Timmy Dooley is commenting in light of figures revealed by Justice Minister Frances Fitzgerald which show there's now 26 fewer officers in the county than there were in 2011.

There's currently 290 Gardai serving in the county, down from 316, five years ago.
The Fianna Fail TD has been telling me that certain crimes increase when garda numbers are low.
