I am informed by the Garda authorities that local Garda management is aware of ongoing problems of public disorder and anti-social behaviour in the area concerned.

Community Gardaí are in constant contact with schools and youth groups in the area, and there have been a number of seminars with local community groups and the business community in an effort to evaluate the extent of the problem and to help target resources at identified problem areas.

I am further informed that local Garda management has noted a decrease in anti-social behaviour type offences recorded. The position is continuously reviewed, and the response modified accordingly.
