Vol. 529 No. 1

Written Answers. - Garda Operations.

Austin Currie

Question:

1014 Mr. Currie asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if he will discuss with the Garda authorities the policing arrangements in Palmerstown, Dublin 20 and in particular if policing would be improved in that area by having one Garda station responsible rather than two. [1334/01]

I am informed by the Garda authorities that Palmerstown is policed by gardaí from Ronanstown Garda Station and Ballyfermot Garda Station. Because of the geographical proximity, resources from both districts-stations patrol the whole Palmerstown area resulting in an increased level of patrolling. It should be noted that Palmerstown is policed and administered by one divisional officer and in accordance with one divisional policing plan.
