I am informed by the Garda authorities that local Garda management is not aware of any specific complaint in respect of the premises referred to. I am further informed that management of the premises in question has a policy that no person under the age of 16 years of age can access the Internet there and the proprietor has advised gardaí that the policy is enforced by the manager of the premises and the security staff. Members of the local Community Policing Unit in the area also monitor the premises to ensure the policy is enforced. The Garda Síochána will investigate any complaint received.
