Checkpoints
Another quite effective deterrent to curbing crime has been the random and regular checkpoints mounted by Gardai in the area.
They have had a favourable impact on crime, and also in discouraging speeding and other motoring offences.
These checkpoints are to continue for the foreseeable future, at least until the end of the year, a meeting of the Community Alert Committee heard.
Since the introduction of the checkpoints the level of crime has fallen.
