A rise in stolen cars being used to terrorise locals is causing "huge distress" in a Dublin suburb.
Sinn Fein Councillor Daithi Doolan, who was previously punched in the back of the head for standing up to joyriders, said those involved need to "take a long hard look at themselves". He also called for coordinated action to resolve the issue that has plagued the Ballyfermot area.
Cllr Doolan said: "There is serious concern at the increase in the number of robbed cars terrorising Cherry Orchard over last weekend. This is causing huge distress for the community, particularly the elderly and those with young children.
