Dear Dave,

 

I refer to the recent meeting of the above held on 21 November.

 

A stanard item on the agenda was the Garda update on local issues.

 

Following Garda Sergeant Tom Walsh's summary report on crime statistics, a number of queries were raised.

 

No 1.

Cllr Tom Brabazon requested that the crime figures currently provided verbally should:

(a) be provided in written form, and,

(b) the data from the previous report should be included for comparison purposes.

 

It was pointed out that data such as this is already provided to councillors at the area forum of Garda/local elected representatives.

 

The sergeant explained that he was following the normal procedures for community forums. 

 

The councillor requested that DCC be requested to ask the Garda authorities to provide the data in future in the manner he suggested. 

 

I explained that I do not have the authority to do this but I would pass it on to you.

 

No 2.

Cllr Brabazon also requested that a 'Garda sub-office' be established to service the area.

 

The sergeant explained that such an office was set up in the past but attracted very little 'business' (my words) and it was thus deemed not to be required.

 

The councillor insisted that the Garda authorities be asked to provide such a service.

 

I explained that I do not have the authority to do this but I would pass it on to you.

 

No 3.

A number of residents asked if there will be enough Garda to service the growing population in the area.

The sergeant explained that it is his understanding that five new Garda will be assigned to Coolock Station in the next month or so.

 

Nevertheless, some of the residents wanted to know if the Garda authorities were planning to have the necessary resources to service the area given the gradual increase in population.

 

I explained that I do not have the authority to request this information but I would pass it on to you.

 

Thank you,

Declan
