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 regarding speeding in the area. A member of the local Community Policing Unit is specifically assigned to the area and will contact local residents to ensure that issues arising are dealt with appropriately.

The area is the subject of regular patrols and checkpoints by uniform and plain clothes personnel, including the Community Policing Unit, the Mountain Bike Unit and Divisional 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.
