I have contacted the Garda authorities for the information requested by the Deputy, however, the information was not available in time. I will write again to the Deputy once the information is to hand.
The following deferred reply was received under Standing Order 51
I refer to Parliamentary Question No. 695 of 28 June 2022 where you sought:
“The number of calls received regarding anti-social behaviour to the Ballincollig Garda station in 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021.”
As you will recall, Minister McEntee sought the information you requested from the Garda authorities and undertook to contact you again once the information was to hand. The delay in responding is regretted.
As you will be aware, under the Garda Síochána Act 2005 (as amended), the Garda Commissioner is responsible by law for the management and administration of An Garda Síochána. As Minister, I have no direct role in these matters.
I am informed by the Garda authorities that there is no facility to record the nature of calls received at this time.
I am also informed that the table below sets out the number of offences reported to Ballincollig Garda station under the headings Public Order and Assaults in 2018 up to 2021. I am advised that these may not equate to calls received regarding anti-social behaviour to the Ballincollig Garda station.
