RTE viewers were left disgusted at footage of O'Connell Street broadcast on Prime Time on Tuesday night.
The filth on the street, open drug use and violence captured by RTE left a bad taste in many people's mouths. The street, which is rich in history from the former site of Nelson's Pillar to the GPO, has been in decline for some time, and Wexford TD Paul Kehoe told the Dail he was "ashamed" of the street which is full of "druggies".
A new Garda Station was promised to be delivered by the end of the summer but Dublin Live previously reported the deadline has been missed and works haven't even started yet. The station was set to be a hub for operations targeting anti social behaviour.
