Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 17 May 2005
282 Mr. Gregory asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if the Garda authorities will provide a report regarding the upsurge in anti-social behaviour at the partly detenanted Dominick Street flats in Dublin 1; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [15998/05]
Amharc ar fhreagraI understand from the Garda authorities that local management is aware of an increase in anti-social behaviour at the location referred to by the Deputy. I understand that over the past eight weeks 39 persons have been arrested for public order offences at the location. I am further informed that mobile and foot patrols, particularly community gardaí, are giving increased attention to the area and will ensure that a concentrated visible presence is maintained in the area. I have been assured that local Garda management is monitoring the position and taking a proactive approach to deal with the problems highlighted.
