Chris Andrews (SF), Dublin Bay South

Last night, "Prime Time" exposed the grim reality facing the city centre, O'Connell Street, and the communities that live in and call the inner city their home. These communities are being forgotten and abandoned. O'Connell Street, Pearse Street and City Quay need protection from increasing street violence.
The local Garda has engaged comprehensively. In the past, we had the Mulvey report for the north inner city but the footprint for that report is very small. I ask the Government to commit to extending its scope beyond that small footprint by including the north and south inner city for the entire community. This is having a hugely negative impact. People are fearful of leaving their homes. That is not acceptable.
