I am informed by the Garda authorities that there have been three incidents of vandalism to cars in the area referred to since the beginning of this year. I am further informed that a suspect has been identified and is being sought for questioning in connection with these incidents. I am assured by the Garda authorities that the area referred to is regularly patrolled by uniform and plain clothes gardaí with a view to ensuring a visible and concentrated police presence. These patrols are supplemented by the Garda mountain bike unit, the community policing unit, the divisional crime task force unit and the traffic unit.
