I am informed by the Garda authorities that the person concerned contacted their local Garda Station at 5.00 am approximately on 23 July, 2006 reporting an attempted break-in to a house in their area. At the time the Garda patrol car in the area was busy dealing with a violent incident that required back-up. A patrol car from another Garda District was requested to attend to the matter and arrived at the scene at 5.40 am approximately. A search of the area for any sighting of the person as described did not produce a result.

The issues raised by the Deputy on behalf of the person concerned have been addressed by the local Policing Forum. In addition, a Garda Sergeant from the Neighbourhood Policing Unit called to the person concerned to explain the situation in detail.
