Complaints from neighbours about flat where man was stabbed 'not listened to', councillor claims

Complaints from neighbours about the flat where a man was fatally stabbed this morning were "not listened" to, a Dublin city councillor has claimed.

David Ennis, aged in his late 30s, was stabbed at an apartment in Claddagh Court flat complex for older people in Ballyfermot last night. A woman in her 40s was arrested by gardai and is being held at Clondalkin Garda Station.

The complaints were understood to be in relation to "cuckooing", which is a term used to describe individuals taking over the home of a vulnerable person, often for illegal activities. Fr Peter McVerry previously revealed how drug dealers take over the homes of vulnerable people.
