People frequently look to transfer out of estates on the north side. They will approach us privately and say the reason is there is a drugs problem and so on. In some cases, they up and leave and become homeless as a result of fear and intimidation. This comes back again to the problem of people not openly declaring who is harassing or threatening them with violence or who has assaulted them. Everyone will say it would be better if they could tell the Garda who it is because that is the only way to deal with the problem and stop the person perpetrating the violence. How can this problem be overcome?
