Residents off Camden Street in Dublin city centre say they are fed up with late-night revellers damaging their cars and using their laneway and front gardens as a toilet.
Cars were damaged just off the street on Long Lane and Camden Row on Thursday, Friday and Saturday night last week. One local was left with a €600 bill after the wing mirror on their car was knocked out of its socket last week.
Locals say their cars are regularly keyed and have their windscreen wipers pulled back, as well as wing mirrors smashed on the street. One resident, who did not want to be named, also complained of people "urinating" in their front garden, late night shouting, and litter left on the street.

Residents are calling on a number of measures to improve life on the laneway which includes: a CCTV scheme, increased garda presence, improved street lighting, street cleaning and speed bumps.
Independent Councillor Mannix Flynn told Dublin Live "havoc" on the lane is making life "miserable" for locals. He said: "There is just havoc in that lane.
"The revellers come off Camden Street. They kick the b******s out of the cars. They p*ss and sh*t all over the place.
"It is a nightmare and nothing is being done about it. They are speeding down that road because it is a rat run."
He added: "It is making lives down there absolutely miserable, and it is very unsafe. I was down there watching, it is a mess."
