I am advised that the Probation Service team based in the Donaghmede Office have responsibilities across a large area of Dublin North which includes Dublin 17, Dublin 13, Dublin 5 and a part of Dublin 3. This team also covers all rural areas north of Dublin Airport to the county boundary including Swords, Malahide and Portmarnock.

At any one time the team may be working with up to 250 persons referred from the criminal courts for assessment or supervision.

The Deputy should note that those referred by the Courts may be met with in the local office in Donaghmede as well as in other Probation Service offices on the Northside of Dublin. Client meetings also take place in the clients’ homes or in other community organisations/facilities as appropriate.

I am advised that the number of full-time Probation Staff working at Donaghmede Shopping Centre are 1 Senior Probation Officer, 4 Probation Officers, 1 Clerical Officer, 1 Higher Executive Officer, 1 Executive Officer, and 1 Probation Assistant.

An additional Probation Officer works out of the location three days a week, which is 0.6 WTE, and a Regional Manager with responsibility over this region works out of this location on occasion.
