Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 7 July 2015
235. Deputy Seán Kenny asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if she will request an assurance from the Garda Commissioner regarding Garda Síochána attendance at a festival (details supplied) in Dublin 13; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [27176/15]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs the Deputy will appreciate, the Garda Commissioner is responsible for the distribution of personnel among the Garda Regions, Divisions and Districts. Garda management keep this distribution under continuing review in the context of crime trends and policing priorities so as to ensure that the best possible use is made of these resources.
I have been informed by the Garda Commissioner that local Garda Management are aware of the event in question. I am further informed that the Community Policing Unit at Coolock have been in attendance at a number of the Organising Committee meetings for the Festival and will be involved for the duration of the Festival, including the dates in question.
