Amharc ar fhreagraI am informed by the Garda authorities that the area referred to is policed from Clontarf Garda Station and is regularly patrolled by mobile and beat patrols with a view to ensuring a concentrated and visible Garda presence in the area.
I am also informed that there have been no complaints recorded recently regarding anti-social behaviour in the area referred to by the Deputy.
The Community Policing Unit has lead responsibility for policing in this area and has evolved a good partnership approach to problem solving in conjunction with the community. The incidence of crime in the area and the allocation of personnel resources are kept under constant review by local Garda management.
Current policing policy in the area is predicated on the prevention of crime including crimes of violence against persons and property, the prevention of public order offences and the maintenance of an environment conducive to the improvement of the quality of life of the residents. This strategy is, and will continue to be, central to the delivery of the policing service in this area.
