Resident of Dublin suburb ‘living in fear’ of being petrol bombed or having cars burnt out, local councillor says
“Those showing contempt for gardaí and decent communities last night will be investigated and I urge anyone with information to contact An Garda Siochana,” Ms McEntee said on Twitter.
In January, there were six nights in a row when cars were robbed and burned out, he said, with another surge in violence in July when cars were robbed five nights in a row and taken on a “joyride” around the community. Gardaí have previously said they were aware of ongoing incidents in the area, and were liaising with local representatives and communities on the matter.
The situation required more than just condemnation, it required solutions, she said. “It’s easy to condemn, it’s difficult to give solutions to ensure that this kind of behaviour doesn’t continue. We have to find long term solutions.”
