€10 million is being set aside to increase Garda visibility in the capital.
The Justice Minister is announcing a new funding package today.
It's hoped to give Gardaí a significant boost to their overtime budget to put more guards on the beat.
It will be made immediately available and will provide 240,000 extra Garda hours.
That equates to 20,000 extra shifts in the Dublin Metropolitan Region (DMR) up to the end of the year.
It comes after the attack on US tourist Stephen Termini, who was hospitalised after suffering severe injuries in the north inner city last week.
Helen McEntee will make the announcement today while attending the latest Garda graduation ceremony at the Garda College in Tipperary.
87 new Gardaí will graduate.
