I am informed by the Garda authorities that the location referred to is in the Clontarf Garda Sub-District. Local Garda management is aware of anti-social behaviour in the area. While at present no complaints in respect of the location are the subject of Garda investigation, any such complaints received will be investigated. The area is subject, under the direction of local Garda management, to regular patrols by uniform and plain clothes personnel, including the Community Policing and the Garda Mountain Bike Units and the District Detective and Drugs Units, supplemented as required by the Crime Task Force and Traffic Corps personnel.

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.
