I am informed by the Garda authorities that the area referred to is in the Clontarf Garda Sub-District and is patrolled by uniformed and plain-clothes personnel, the Community Policing Unit and Mountain Bike Units, supplemented by the District Detective and Drugs Units and the Divisional Crime Task Force and Traffic Corps personnel.

Local Garda management is aware of the problems with anti-social behaviour being experienced by local residents. The incidence of crime in the area and the allocation of personnel resources are kept under constant review by local Garda management.

Current policing policy in the area is predicated on the prevention of crime including crimes of violence against persons and property, the prevention of public order offences and the maintenance of an environment conducive to the improvement of the quality of life of the residents. This strategy is, and will continue to be, central to the delivery of the policing service in this area.

I am assured by the Garda authorities that they will continue to give the matter referred to by the Deputy their ongoing attention.
