The witness gives west Cork as an example. I grew up in Cork and I know west Cork well. Excluding cities such as Dublin, does Muintir na Tíre have a role or does it have a different approach in small towns or urban centres around Ireland? There are growing concerns about late-night public order offences in town centres. Can any of the work done by Muintir na Tíre in rural areas be replicated in the towns?
