Written Answers. - Skerries (Dublin) Crime Level.

Limerick East): I appreciate that there is concern in the Skerries area, as there is in other areas, at the present level of crime. However, provisional crime figures for 1985 for the Garda sub-district of Skerries indicate some decrease in crime in comparison with 1984 and 1983 figures.
Garda strength in the sub-district of Skerries has been increased from one sergeant and five gardaí in 1983 to one sergeant and nine gardaí at present. The crime position and policing needs of Skerries will continue to be kept under review by the Garda authorities.
