Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 20 October 2015
382. Deputy Seán Kenny asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if she will ensure that additional Garda Síochána attention is provided to an area (details supplied) in Dublin 13; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [36489/15]
View answerThe Deputy will appreciate that the deployment of Garda resources is a matter in the first instance for the Garda authorities.
The Deputy will also be aware that special policing arrangements and relevant liaison with local authorities are put in place annually in many localities, to deal with public order and safety issues which may arise at Halloween, and I have brought his concerns in this regard to the Garda Commissioner's attention. The very significant increase in Garda resources which is now being provided by the Government will undoubtedly assist Garda management in dealing with anti-social behaviour as well as enhancing community safety in all areas, including Donaghmede.
