MOTION: Councillor P. Gogarty

"That this Committee calls on the Minister for Justice, in consulation with senior Garda management to urgently outline a credible timeframe for implementing previous commitments regarding the enhancement of the community policing service and in particular community Garda, including in the Lucan/Palmerstown/Clondalkin area, especially in the light of public fears regarding dangerous criminals living in our midst and the risk to members of the public innocently getting caught up in drug-related feuds; given that an increase in the number of community police will help to improve the responsible sharing of information with residents and community groups so as to better identify existing and potential threats and help our communities have a better sense of security; and that the Minister and/or her officials be requested to give a detailed and timely response."

REPORT:

"The terms of this motion will be conveyed to the Minister for Justice should the motion be Passed."
