Theft from Vehicles is a crime of opportunity and car owners are in the front line when it comes to prevention.  Help us to help you prevent and reduce Theft from Vehicles this Spring.

Motorists can do their bit by parking in secure or well-lit areas wherever possible. They should also close all windows, remove all valuables, especially ‘sat navs’, lock all doors and activate the immobiliser or alarm if they have one.

An Garda Síochána Policing Plan 2012 is now available in both English and Irish.

Minister Rabbitte launched the pilot SMS service for enhancing access to Emergency Call Answering Services using the 112 telephone number.

A dedicated part of web site www.112.ie has been developed as part of the delivery of this service. All users of ECAS should go to this site to register themselves and to provide location information.  

Please use alternative routes where possible.

(1) Gardai wish to advise motorists of mains water replacement work which will necessitate the closure of the centre two lanes, this may cause traffic restrictions and backups between 10am and 4pm - outside of these times traffic will flow as normal.

This work commenced on the 10th January and is expected to take two months. 

(2) Road works commenced on Fountain Road (i.e. the road from the Gough Roundabout to the Laurel Lawn) on 23 January 2012. This phase of works will impact on access to North Road and is expected to continue for approximately two and a half weeks.

Access to North Road from Parkgate Street, and vice versa, will continue to be via Chesterfield Avenue and as a temporary measure the Lord's Walk (the road that runs from Chesterfield Avenue between the Zoo and Polo grounds) will be open to facilitate personnel in having access to and from North Road, i.e. allowing a link between Chesterfield Avenue and the North Road.

Access to North Road via the North Circular Road gate will remain unaffected.

Details of the road closure on Chesterfield Avenue are available on www.phoenixpark.ie
