I am informed by the Garda authorities that the area in question is within the Clontarf Garda Sub-District. Local Garda management is aware of a number of complaints from businesses and residents in the area regarding anti-social behaviour. The area has been identified by the Garda authorities as a hot spot for anti-social behaviour.
There is a Community Garda assigned to the area, which is regularly patrolled by uniform and plain clothes patrols, augmented by the Divisional Traffic Unit and Task Force. The area continues to receive high visibility patrolling by the Community Policing Unit.
Local Garda management closely monitors patrols, and other operational strategies in place, in conjunction with crime trends and policing needs of the community in the area to ensure optimum use is made of Garda resources, and the best possible Garda service is provided to the public. The situation will be kept under review and paramount consideration given to the needs of residents.
