To ask the Manager to outline efforts being made to ensure the safety of people using the Council's Parks throughout the Tallaght region and will he make a statement.

The Community Gardaí at Tallaght patrols all parks in the area on mountain bikes.  A Community Garda is assigned to liaise with South Dublin County Council staff at Tymon Park.  This Community Garda is in day to day contact with the park rangers and deals with problems as they arise.  Potential problems are also identified and dealt with by Gardaí and South Dublin County Council staff to prevent as many problems as possible.
