The public sentiment survey was conducted by Dublin members of the Fianna Fáil Parliamentary Party on people's experience of anti-social behaviour."We're looking to have dedicated community Garda deployed on a small area policing basis in all of our constituencies," she said. "We're looking for each Garda on each shift to do a minimum of 60 minutes of a foot or pedal bike patrol in their designated area.
"We're also looking for Gardaí to be deployed on public transport - so Gardaí, as part of their patrols, to hop on a bus or get on the DART or the Luas."Senator Fitzpatrick is calling for a zero-tolerance approach to crime in the capital."There was overwhelming support for our proposals for increased community Gardaí.'A comprehensive response'
