All of our energies should be going on addressing what caused it and ensuring it never happens again. We need to have an uncompromising response to crime and antisocial behaviour in our communities. It was my community last week but it will be other Senators' communities another day. Unless, as a society, we have an uncompromising response to crime and antisocial behaviour, it will continue. This is about tackling the small, casual, opportunistic criminal and antisocial behaviour such as drug dealing, drug distribution, illegal dumping and unmuzzled dangerous animals with no leads in public spaces. It is all of that and it is also about resourcing our gardaí, making sure they have body cams, can use the technology and share the data. We need a safe city. We demand a safe city and country and anything short of that is unacceptable to the people of my community and of this city.
