I am informed by the Garda authorities that gardaí in Finglas are aware of the problems caused by quad and motor bikes being driven in enclosed parks in that area. A number of initiatives have commenced in the division which utilise the services of the Garda air support unit, the divisional task force, traffic units and district community policing personnel. These initiatives target the public parks in the district, and have resulted in a number of such vehicles being seized by members of the Garda Síochána. Such initiatives will continue to be implemented on a regular basis by local Garda management.
