Vol. 304 No. 10

Written Answers. - Inchicore Muggings.

334.

asked the Minister for Justice if he is aware that there have been a number of muggings in the Inchicore, Dublin area lately; and if he has any plans to increase the Garda Force to counteract this.

I am informed by the Garda authorities that there were four incidents of handbag-snatching in the Inchicore area since the beginning of the year. In one of these cases, the victim also suffered some injury.

The strength at Kilmainham Garda Station, which serves the Inchicore area, has been increased by six Gardaí since November last and the Gardaí propose to increase the strength there further as soon as additional man-power becomes available for assignment.
