Following a fatal public order incident in Dublin city center, Sinn Féin spokesperson Matt Carthy TD expresses deep concern and calls for urgent action from the Minister for Justice to address public safety issues.
Sinn Fein spokesperson on Justice, Home Affairs and Migration, Matt Carthy TD, said it is deeply concerning that someone has died and another has been seriously injured following a public order incident in Dublin City last night.
He said: "Last night’s public order incident on South Anne Street in Dublin has caused great shock to the people of Dublin and I want to express my deepest sympathies to the family of the man who lost his life and offer my well wishes to the other man who remains hospitalised. "That something like this could happen in one of the busiest and most popular areas of nightlife in the capital, a stone's throw from Grafton Street, will cause great concern to the people of Dublin. There is a serious problem in relation to public safety in Dublin city centre. Last week Minister Jim O’Callaghan acknowledged that parts of the city were unsafe. He has yet to tell us which parts he was referring to, and what he plans to do to address the lack of public safety.
"We had a number of serious criminal incidents in the city last weekend. Last night one person died and another was seriously injured following a public order incident. This is deeply concerning. There are too few Gardaí on the beat on the streets of Dublin. "The Minister must as a matter of urgency bring forward a plan to make Dublin, our capital city, safe for all those who live, work, do business there as well as for visitors to the city. I will be raising this matter with him in the Dail next week."
