CALL TO TACKLE ANTISOCIAL BEHAVIOUR IN MERVUE

Date Published: 24-Apr-2012

Anti-social behaviour in the Mervue area must be tackled urgently.

The call follows a number of break-ins and tyre slashing in the Walter Macken area in the last six month period.

City Councillor Declan McDonnell says security doors are being kicked in and perpetrators are using hallways and stairwells as shelters for drug use.

He says he will be addressing the issue with city officials today so that the elderly residential community can feel safe in their homes.

Chairperson of the local residents Association Liam Horan says problems began in the last two years.
