I am informed by the Garda authorities that the crime statistics for the past six years show that there has been no substantial increase in thefts or burglaries in Doon, County Limerick. There were three burglaries recorded in 2005, with none in 2004 and one in 2003. There were two theft related offences recorded in 2005 with seven in 2004 and six in 2003.

Local Garda management is satisfied that the Garda resources currently allocated to Doon are adequate and that the situation is regularly reviewed.
