I am informed by the Garda authorities that no complaints have been made during the past three weeks in respect of the area mentioned.

I am further informed that during the relevant period there was one incident relating to public disorder in the vicinity of the premises referred to. Late night exemptions, from 11:30 pm to 2:30 am, were granted by the Courts to the licensed premises referred to on every Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights during the period in question.

I am also informed that uniformed and plain-clothes units regularly patrol the area referred to and will continue to do so, particularly at closing times. Local Garda management will liaise with the management of the premises in respect of any specific complaints made.
