New O'Connell Street garda station to tackle 'mindless thuggery' and drug dealing

A new garda station will be setup on O'Connell Street to tackle drug dealing and anti social crimes.

Justice Minister Helen McEntee told a Fine Gael parliamentary party meeting the premises on 13A O'Connell Street will be made available to the gardai. There was previously a Citizen's Information office at the site.

The Fine Gael Minister also said Operation Citizen, which targets antisocial behaviour and promotes garda visibility in the city centre, will now run seven days a week rather than at weekends only.
