Question 141: To ask the Minister for Justice and Equality having regard to the serious break-in on 21 March 2011 last at the home of a person (details supplied) in County Kildare, the extent to which Garda divisional response can come from the nearest Garda station in a life-threatening situation rather than having to await Garda response from a station almost 20 miles away; if those involved have been apprehended in this case; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I am informed by the Garda authorities that local Garda management is aware of the incident at the location referred to by the Deputy. Garda personnel from a Garda Station approximately seven miles from the location, who were on duty patrolling the Garda Sub-District, attended the scene around 20 minutes after the incident was reported. The incident remains under Garda investigation. The Garda Divisional Crime Prevention Officer has provided crime prevention and personal security advice to the person referred to.
