I am informed by the Garda authorities that the area referred to is within Coolock Garda District. Local Garda management is not aware of any difficulties of the nature outlined by the Deputy being experienced by residents in the area. Any breaches of the law, including of the Road Traffic Acts, detected by or reported to An Garda Síochána are investigated.

The area is the subject of regular patrols by uniform and plain clothes personnel, including the Community Policing Unit, Mountain Bike Unit and local Detective and Drug Unit personnel, supplemented as required by the Divisional Crime Task Force and 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.
