View answerThe Garda authorities have informed me that the area in question is policed by gardaí from Kilmainham Garda station. The regular patrols by uniformed gardaí and detective personnel are assisted by the divisional crime task force, the special resource unit, the drugs unit and the Garda mountain bike unit. A community policing Garda is also assigned to the area on a full-time basis. I have been further informed that there have been recent incidents of vandalism and public order committed by juveniles, some of whom have been identified and held responsible. The rest of the incidents remain under investigation. The Garda authorities have assured me that they consider that the policing resources allocated to the area are satisfactory and that they are kept under constant review.
