A TD has joined calls for Dublin City Council Chief Executive Owen Keegan to resign following a damning TV report on O'Connell Street.
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. Fine Gael Councillor Ray McAdam kicked off the calls for the resignation, saying Mr Keegan "is ripping the heart out of the City Council".
