Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 29 September 2004
1165 Mr. G. Mitchell asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if measures have been taken by the gardaí to protect persons (details supplied) in Dublin 10 and their family home from attack by youths; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [22947/04]
Amharc ar fhreagraI have made inquiries with the Garda authorities regarding this matter. I am informed that Garda investigations are ongoing into complaints made by the person in question, and a liaison garda has been appointed as a direct contact between the Garda authorities and the person concerned. I also understand that the person in question has been made aware of the services of Victim Support.
I am assured by local Garda management that the area referred to is regularly patrolled by uniformed gardaí, the divisional traffic unit and the community gardaí on foot and bicycle patrol with a view to ensuring a concentrated and visible Garda presence.
