The management of Garda resources and of operational measures relating to the maintenance of law and order in particular areas are matters primarily for the local Garda authorities and accordingly I consider that it would be more appropriate for residents who are concerned about problems in their areas to meet and discuss their concerns with Garda officers.
I am informed by the Garda authorities that a request has been received from the Deputy for a meeting with a delegation from the residents in the Ronanstown area of Clondalkin to discuss problems in this area and that a meeting with appropriate officers will be arranged at an early date.
