What plans are there to deal with violence? I am talking about both organised violence, that is, drug dealing, drug-debt intimidation and the wholesale violence that communities have to deal with and disorganised violence. That can be the crime of chaotic families, vulnerable people who are sometimes, for want of a better term, useful idiots who are used by drug gangs. Such chaotic behaviour can really impact communities across the board. I probably spend longer talking to An Garda Síochána than any other State agency. Whether I am talking about the Garda, the council or Tusla, we do not have the supports or resources to deal with these issues. I am going from one end of the criminality spectrum to the other but we have a huge issue. There is poverty, intergenerational trauma and a huge level of drug addiction and drug crime on top of it.
