Call for a Garda Clinic at Adamstown
Working with my colleague, Emer Higgins T.D., we raised the need for the establishment of a Garda Clinic in Adamstown with our colleague, the Minister for Justice, Helen McEntee. This is inspired by the successful implementation of a similar clinic in City West.
The proposed Garda Clinic aims to serve the Adamstown community by offering convenient services such as document stamping, form witnessing, and assistance with passport applications. It could also serve as a welcoming environment for residents to report incidents and interact with community Gardaí.
This initiative will bring essential services closer to the people of Adamstown and establish a safe space for community engagement.
Our goal is to enhance community safety and connectivity. A Garda Clinic in Adamstown would be a great step in achieving this, especially when combined with community-focused events.
