QUESTION: Councillor S. Frances Fitzgerald

Report on the rise in burglaries in Palmerstown, Dublin 20

REPLY:

There has been a rise in burglaries in the Palmerstown area as in all other areas nationwide in 2009.  It is not possible to extract specific figures for the Palmerstown area from the overall Pulse figures.  However Gardai are aware of the problem and it is being tackled through targeted Policing using Operation Drought.  The key times are between 4 p.m. and 10 p.m. daily.
