A prominent Dublin City Councillor has called for Council chief Owen Keegan to resign over failures to deliver "services Dubliners need".
The call follows the horrific state of O'Connell Street being broadcast on RTE's Prime Time on Tuesday night. The devastating programme showed open drug use, violence and urine on the statues on the country's premier street.
The show also included footage of an RTE reporter being offered crack cocaine by a man who was openly smoking the drug. The state of the thoroughfare has caused a major backlash with one TD saying he is "ashamed" of it.
