Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 12 May 2004
175 Mr. Crowe asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if he will request the Garda Commissioner to allocate additional Garda patrols to the Tymon Road North in Tallaght, in view of the fact that there is a serious problem of vandalism and anti-social behaviour in the area. [13755/04]
View answerI have been informed by the Garda authorities that the gardaí in Tallaght are aware of reported incidents of vandalism and anti-social behaviour in the Tymon Road North area of Tallaght. A number of persons were recently arrested in relation to incidents of car theft, criminal damage and burglary in this area and one youth has been admitted to the Garda juvenile diversion programme. Investigations into all reported matters are continuing.
I am further informed that regular Garda patrols give the area ongoing attention. The area is also patrolled by divisional patrols which include the divisional task force and the divisional traffic unit. Local Garda management is satisfied that sufficient resources are available to police the area.
