Since 1 January 1979, 22 incidents of the kind referred to in the question are known to the Garda. The Garda authorities have informed me that special attention is being paid to the affected areas by regular uniformed foot and mobile patrols and also by members of the district detective units. Gardaí are also employed from time to time in plain clothes in some areas in an effort to combat the nuisance. I understand that these measures have been effective and that a number of detections have been made.
