I am informed by the Garda authorities that on Wednesday, 2 November 1998, a Garda patrol car responded to three calls for assistance from the location to which the Deputy refers.
I understand that on the first of these occasions, the gardaí moved on several youths. On the second occasion, the gardaí spoke to the manager of the complex and took the names and addresses of the youths who were on the grounds at this time. I am informed by the gardaí that these youths will be dealt with under the appropriate legislation. A third call was also received and responded to.
I am informed that the divisional officer has directed the community gardaí for the area to call and discuss the problem with staff at the centre. Mobile units have also been instructed to pay particular attention to the area and to deal appropriately with any further incidents.
