Given that ongoing street violence is keeping residents in City Quay hostage most evenings and a 13-year-old was stabbed on Saturday night, there is an urgent need to increase resources in the south inner city in the same way the north inner city was resourced on the back of the Mulvey report. We need increased Garda resources and youth and community resources. The Talk about Youth project on Pearse Street, for example, has no dedicated youth space from which to work. Will the Taoiseach commit to resourcing the south inner city in the same way the north inner city has been resourced? After all, they are one community.
