Hi,
I work in the area of the North quays and Lower Abbey St area, and I'm constantly shocked (naive perhaps) by the seediness of the place.
In the past week or two...
I've witnessed people shooting themselves up in the stomach. I've listened to a guy threatening to knife someone for a tenner (another junkie). I've stood beside a girl in a bus queue who was intimidated by three junkies to give her cigarettes to them.
It would seem that very little can be done about this. The Garda seem to ignore the issue.
There's very few foot patrols.
We're abandoning the area around our National Theatre particularly to a group of alcohol/drug dependent people who have nothing to lose and are happy to engage in some pretty degraded
behaviour.
Is anyone else in the know about what can or is being done about this?
Thanks.
Gearoid
