Have the witnesses come across examples of good practice in policing, particularly in disadvantaged communities where there is widespread intimidation by drugs gangs? Are there examples of the gardaí handling these issues in a positive way? There are many communities, including in my own constituency, where particular gangs dominate whole streets and communities. Fear is rampant, intimidation is horrific and families and children are being intimidated out of their houses, yet nobody will go to the Garda.
This is a major problem.
