Arising from what the Minister and Deputy Shatter have said, would the Minister consider having a special review carried out on the policing of the new housing estates in the Dublin suburbs, in view of the fact that the greatest increase in crime in the country is in those new expanding suburbs? For exemple, in the Dundrum area the increase was 63 per cent between 1980 and 1981. Would the Minister consider a special examination of the policing arrangements and the crime situation in the expanding suburbs? This is a problem which requires special examination and I hope that the Minister will look at this matter as soon as he possibly can.

I will certainly have a look into that matter, Deputy.

A final supplementary question. Would the Minister, when conducting such an examination, looking at the area of concern to Deputies Taylor, Brennan and myself, consider the possibility, when the manpower becomes available, of providing an additional Garda station between the Rathfarnham and Tallaght areas to service the Firhouse and Knocklyon areas in Dublin South, which would make more gardaí available in the Tallaght area, provide a better service to everybody concerned and provide the Garda with the additional manpower which they require in those areas?

In the course of any examination of the policing requirements of the area referred to by Deputy Brennan, I assure the House that the position will be examined in the context of the overall examination of areas.
