Local residents have been slow to highlight the issue because...

Mark Daly: ...within the organisation's gift to tackle all of the areas that need to be addressed, such as aggressive begging and anti-social behaviour.

Mark Daly: ..., the law is there and it needs to be enforced. All the existing legislation must be examined and we must see the enforcement of it and how many convictions there are for parking on footpaths. The Garda has enough to be doing.
