I am advised by the Garda authorities that Garda management, in conjunction with the Office of Public Works, are exploring options to extending the facilities available to both members of An Garda Síochána and the public attending Rathfarnham Garda Station. I am further advised by the Garda authorities that, where vehicles are found to be illegally parked or causing an obstruction to pedestrians or other road users, appropriate Garda action is taken which may take the form of advice, caution, fixed charge penalty notice or the initiation of criminal proceedings.
