Mr. McDowell Mr. McDowell

  Mr. McDowell: I propose to answer Questions Nos. 196 and 197 together.

I have made inquiries with the Garda authorities about the number of incidents reported to the Garda authorities in the Buncrana district in the period concerned and the information sought by the Deputy is outlined in the table.

I am further informed by the Garda authorities that there were five arrests in the Buncrana district in the period concerned. The number of persons cautioned is not recorded. I am informed that all incidents reported to the Garda authorities in the period concerned were responded to and that the public order issues reported during this period were similar in nature to those occurring over the previous weekend.
