Question from Councillor Sean McDermott:- Community Engagement
Can I ask for a update on the focus of the Gardai, as a community based organisation, with community engagement. This would be very reassuring especially for the rural areas of the country.

Inspector Curry said there have been 496 patrols year to date through the community. There has been phenomenal engagement by the Gardai with communities over the past year, with welfare engagements, and programmes such as a light up campaign, Christmas Card and Easter Egg campaign being very much appreciated by the older and vulnerable in communities. The Crime Prevention Officer is available and if members have any concerns to link in with Sergeant McGrath in this regard.
