I am informed by the Garda authorities that the location referred to is in Clontarf Garda Sub-District and is patrolled by foot and mobile patrols from that Garda station, including the Community Policing Unit, which has one member dedicated to this area. I am further informed that local Garda management is aware of anti-social behaviour in the area concerned.
Additional Garda patrols, including patrols by the District Detective and Drug Units, the Community Policing Unit and the Mountain Bike Units supplemented as necessary by the Divisional Crime Task Force and Traffic Corps Units have been directed to pay particular attention to this area, with a view to ensuring a visible Garda presence.
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.
