Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I thank the Deputy for articulating so vividly the horrors of what is occurring in certain locations across the city. In the area he represents there was, at the weekend, the shocking murder of a young man. Certainly at Government level we will do everything we can. The Garda and Minister for Justice are doing everything they can through the criminal justice system to stamp out this criminality. At a broader level, we want to work with communities on the social side through initiatives like, for example, the North East Inner City, NEIC, which is a collaborative and multidisciplinary approach. We want to apply that to other communities not just in the city of Dublin but across the country.
