I understand from the Garda authorities that local management is aware of an increase in anti-social behaviour at the location referred to by the Deputy. I understand that over the past eight weeks 39 persons have been arrested for public order offences at the location. I am further informed that mobile and foot patrols, particularly community gardaí, are giving increased attention to the area and will ensure that a concentrated visible presence is maintained in the area. I have been assured that local Garda management is monitoring the position and taking a proactive approach to deal with the problems highlighted.
