I have been informed by the Garda authorities that the area referred to is policed from Clontarf Garda station.

I am further informed that after conducting an examination of crime in the area senior local Garda management directed additional mobile and foot patrols to combat in particular burglary. This has resulted in a reduction in this type of criminality.

Current policing plans in the area are predicated on the prevention of crime, including crimes against the person 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.
