Mr. Tim Fenn:

From our perspective, it is the people who use Dublin, that is, those who live, work and visit the city, who are the people we must look after. There are complex issues in this regard. We cannot really define who and what are involved in this aggressive begging but we must have a structure to deal with it. People should not be obliged to deal with aggressive, menacing and fear-creating behaviour.

When people go about their business in the streets, they should be able to enjoy facilities in the same way as everybody else.
