On 19th July 2011 at the AFRA meeting Sergeant Senan Wall and Garda Ronan McNulty from Salthill Garda Station answered questions from the floor on public order issues of concern to residents of Ard Fraoigh. Some general advice they gave was:
Graffiti:- If you are concerned about graffiti in the estate then ring the Gardaí and inform them. They stated that they will follow this up.
Youths Drinking & Smoking in the Green Amenity Area:- With regard to groups drinking and smoking in the bushes behind Ard Fraoigh, Sergeant Wall advised residents to ring the Gardaí and they will deal with it. Under no circumstances should you approach these groups yourself. They may not be youths and they may be doing more than drinking and smoking.
Damage to Property:- If you suffer damage to your personal property or observe damage to public property you must always call the Gardaí. They will follow up and call you back.
