I am informed by the Garda authorities that local Garda management is aware of two recent incidents at the premises concerned. A person has been arrested and charged in connection with these incidents and was remanded in custody by the Court.

The Divisional Crime Prevention Officer has visited the premises concerned and has provided crime prevention and security advice to the proprietor. Additional Garda patrols, including the Community Policing Unit and the Mountain Bike Units, supplemented as required by the District Detective Unit and the Divisional Task Force and Traffic Corps Units have been directed to pay particular attention to this area, with a view to ensuring a visible Garda presence. The situation will continue to be monitored 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.
