I am informed by the Garda authorities that the area in question is within the Clontarf Garda Sub-District. I have communicated the concerns referred to the Garda authorities and any incidents of public disorder or anti-social behaviour which are reported to the Gardaí will be fully investigted.

I understand that a Community Garda assigned to the area attends local Neighbourhood Watch meetings and any issues raised are attended to. The area is regularly patrolled by uniform and plain clothes patrols including mobile and mountain bike units.

Local Garda management closely monitors patrols, and other operational strategies in place, in conjunction with crime trends and policing needs of the community 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 will be kept under review and paramount consideration given to the needs of residents.
