Retailers in the capital are being terrorised with threats, intimidation and assaults on a daily basis, a former senior Garda reveals today.
And as terrified workers fall victim to the attacks, more and more are leaving the sector in central Dublin sparking huge staff turnover. Ex Garda inspector Tony Gallagher has been working with businesses to help tackle the issue since his retirement from the force in June.
He told the Irish Mirror: “It’s about winning back the city from the minority who are making it very unpleasant.” Mr Gallagher explained how organised beggars, addicts and gangs of youths are running riot in a situation he describes as an “epidemic”.
