I am informed by the Garda authorities that the area in question is covered by Finglas Garda Station and that they are aware of the concerns of the residents of this area in relation to anti-social behaviour. The area is patrolled regularly by the local patrol cars and by members of the Community Policing Unit on foot and bicycle patrols. These patrols are augmented by the Divisional Crime Task Force and Divisional Traffic Units. Local policing requirements are regularly reviewed by local management to ensure that they meet the policing needs of the area.

I am assured that the area in question will continue to receive the attention of the Gardaí at Finglas. I am pleased to note that an additional four Gardaí have recently being allocated to Finglas Garda station.
