Amharc ar fhreagraI have received representations from the person in question and that, in response, I have caused inquiries to be made of, inter alia, the Garda authorities. I have undertaken to communicate further with the person in question in due course. As part of the ongoing Garda investigation, inquiries into all aspects of the murder are being continued.
On the wider community, I understand the level of both Garda foot and mobile patrols has been increased and that the area is also the subject of intensive policing activity, in accordance with the operational goals of both Operation Crossover and Operation Anvil. Moreover, local gardaí will continue to liaise with residents and residents groups and associations in the area to ensure that their concerns are being met.
