I can assure that Deputy that An Garda Síochána treat crimes of this nature extremely seriously and that Garda management deploy the necessary crime prevention and investigation resources accordingly. I have however requested a report from the Garda authorities in relation to the specific incidents referred to and I will contact the Deputy directly when the report is to hand.
