The allocation of resources, including personnel, in An Garda Síochana is a matter for the Garda Commissioner and senior Garda management. I have however, been informed by the Garda authorities that the personnel strength of Tallaght Garda Station and Tallaght Garda District, which cover the area referred to by the Deputy, on the latest date for which figures are readily available, was 199 and 275 respectively.

The area in question is regularly patrolled by uniformed and plain clothes members of the Mountain Bike, Community Policing, detective and other units in An Garda Síochána. There is also close liaison between Community Gardai and local community representatives and organisations. The specific needs of the area are continually monitored and reviewed by local Garda Management so that optimum use is made of Garda resources and the best possible service is provided to the general public.

laws support anti-social behaviour. They are gone in a minute, Garda do not have neccessary technology. They never go to jail, victims get attacked for calling garda.
