I am informed by the Garda authorities that the location referred to is in Raheny Garda Sub-District and is patrolled by foot and mobile patrols from that Garda station.

I am further informed that local Garda management is aware of public order problems and anti-social behaviour in the area concerned.

The area referred to has been included in the local Policing Plan for particular attention including additional patrols by uniform and plain-clothes personnel, supplemented, as necessary, by the local Community Policing Unit, the Garda Mountain Bike Unit, the District Detective and Drug Units and the Divisional Task Force and Traffic Corps Units.

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.
