How long does it take for a Garda to come to the front desk in Store St?

Garda resources are massively underresourced, but, a bit of extra training would go a long way.

I went to the station beside Connolly station the other day to pick up a set of keys that had been left in by a taxi driver As I arrived at the station, the Luas pulled up and two guys spilled out of it beating the living hell out of each other. One of the guys left and the other one had to be carried into the station.

This was around 1.30pm and there was nobody at the desk. There was a queue of about four people there already and the person at the front had to repeatedly ring the bell to get a guard to come out. The guy who had been beaten was left sitting on the waiting-room seats and, by the time I left, he was still sitting there.

That's not good enough. I'm in no way having a go at the guards who are already working their backsides off, but to have a recruitment freeze when things like this are going on???
