Correct answer: It is not necessary to report it to the Gardaí provided it has been reported to the property owner..
If the incident causes damage to property only and there is a Garda present; it must be reported to the Garda. If there is no Garda present; the owner or the person in charge of the property must be informed. If neither are present then the relevant information must be provided at a Garda Station as soon as possible.
