I am informed by the Garda authorities that the area referred to is within the Santry Garda Sub-district. Local Garda management is aware of anti-social behaviour at the location referred to and have increased Garda presence in the area over the past number of months.
The area is patrolled by foot and mobile patrols and receives attention from Community Gardaí attached to Santry Garda Station. Gardaí will continue to patrol this area regularly and Community Gardaí will continue to engage with Dublin City Council and other relevant agencies to tackle anti-social activity in the area.
The Garda authorities have indicated that the situation will be kept under review and that local Garda Management are closely monitoring such patrols, and other operational strategies in place, in conjunction with crime trends and policing needs of the communities in the area to ensure optimum use is made of Garda resources, and the best possible Garda service is provided to the public.
