I am informed by the Garda authorities that local Garda management is aware of the difficulties being experienced in the area in question and has met the local residents' association and the local authority in order to provide a policing response to the issues referred to.

I understand that a number of matters are also being addressed by the local authority and local Garda management believes that this will help address some of the issues. Community policing is a central feature and core value in policing policy by Garda management, and I am informed that two community policing gardaí are assigned to this area. I am assured that the area in question continues to receive ongoing attention by district and divisional resources with a view to ensuring that a concentrated visible presence is maintained in the area.
