I am informed by the Garda authorities that the location referred to is within the Coolock Garda District. Local Garda management is aware of difficulties in relation to parking in the area.

I am further informed that the area referred to is patrolled by uniform and plain-clothes units, including the Community Policing Unit, supplemented as required by Traffic Corps personnel. The Garda authorities have also advised that a designated Community Garda who patrols the area is in contact with local residents.

I am also advised that An Garda Síochána regularly conduct enforcement operations to ensure that road traffic legislation is complied with. Members of An Garda Síochána issue fixed charge notices to vehicles that are parked illegally or causing obstructions.

I am assured that local Garda management continue to monitor this area and where breaches of the law are detected the appropriate action is taken.
