I am informed by the Garda authorities that Gardaí at Coolock Garda station are aware of two incidents of damage to the bus shelter referred to in the last seven months. I am further informed that three people have been arrested in relation to these incidents, which remain under investigation. I am further informed by the Garda authorities that current policing plans in the area are designed to achieve, inter alia, the prevention of anti-social and public order offences; the prevention of crime including crimes of violence against persons and property and the maintenance of an environment conducive to the improvement of quality of life of the residents. This strategy will continue to be central to the delivery of a policing service to the area concerned.
