I am informed by the Garda authorities that the area referred to is within Clontarf Garda Sub-District. Local Garda management is not aware of any specific complaints of illegal parking in the area. A member of the local Community Policing Unit is specifically assigned to the area referred to and will raise the issue of illegal parking with local residents. The matter will be closely monitored, and any breaches of the parking regulations detected will be addressed.

The area is the subject of regular patrols by uniform and plain clothes personnel, including the Community Policing Unit and Mountain Bike Unit, supplemented as required by Traffic Corps personnel.

Local Garda management closely monitors and keeps under review patrols and other operational strategies in place, in conjunction with crime trends and policing needs of the communities in the area, to ensure optimum use is made of Garda resources and the best possible Garda service is provided to the public. The situation is kept under review.
