Despite promises by the Justice Department to tackle anti-social behaviour in flashpoint areas, nothing has changed, a local Ballyfermot councillor claims.

Dublin city councillor Daithi Doolin representing Ballyfermot-Drimnagh, said “nothing has happened” since Justice Minister Helen McEntree promised to clamp down on lawlessness after visiting the area following the ramming of garda cars by a gang of youths in a stolen car in nearby Cherry Orchard last September.
