The Taoiseach said he will consider bringing in a taskforce to tackle the drug issues, antisocial behaviour and violent incidents that are widespread in Dublin’s O’Connell Street.
Micheal Martin said, however, that the issues in the capital’s main thoroughfare may need something more structured and systemic and that a discussion was needed on whether a taskforce would be the “panacea”.
His comments come as an RTE Prime Time investigation, which aired on Tuesday night, shows the extent of the problems plaguing the busy street.
