I am informed by the Garda authorities that the premises referred to is in the Coolock Garda Sub-district. I am further informed that local Garda management is aware of issues raised by local residents regarding the premises in question. The premises has a public dance licence and the area in which it is located receives particular attention from Garda mobile and foot patrols.

The Garda authorities continue to liaise with local residents and any complaint made will be acted upon at the annual licensing courts or when an application is received for special exemptions. This option is also available to residents in the area.

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.
