Ceisteanna (130)

Denis Naughten

Ceist:

130. Deputy Denis Naughten asked the Minister for Justice and Equality when he will publish a national policy on the operation of the community text alert scheme (details supplied); his views on whether the lack of such a national system is impeding its roll-out; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [28500/13]

I am informed by the Garda authorities that a Text Alert crime prevention initiative is being developed under the auspices of An Garda Síochána, Muintir na Tire, Neighbourhood Watch, the Irish Farmers Association and related stakeholders. I am further informed that the initiative is being piloted in a number of locations so as to inform the development of an overall text alert policy and that this process is an advanced stage.
