Outbreak
The virus is spreading .........
In recent weeks residents in various estates around Limerick have started to voice their opinions and fears in relation to an ongoing campaign of intimidation and harassment by individuals housed in said estates by the local Council. Some of the sheisters causing all the trouble are as young as 8 and 9 years old and this has been going on for nearly a decade, with primary focus this week on Fairview Crescent, Garryowen .
Residents are living in fear and with some fleeing said estates due to fears for their safety. It is alleged that over 15 families have fled Fairview Crescent due to threats and intimidation.
Despite numerous complaints to the Council about the anti social behaviour in these estates, nothing constructive seems to have been done thus far.
Castletroy, Raheen, Dooradoyle and areas in County Limerick seem to be the worst hit in this situation. It is alleged the Council are buying up houses in these areas, right, left and centre! It seems the ongoing problem has now become widespread, rather than confined to one particular area.
Twelve orders of repossession have come before the courts. Another 58 tenants voluntarily surrendered their homes after numerous complaints were made against them. A total of 69 homes have been taken back. via Independent
The Counicl are 'sticking' families in to various estates around the City and people in these estates are at a loss as to who will be stuck alongside them next,
"They seem to be pushing the undesirables out, that nobody wants and nobody has control over," chairman of the Russell Court Residents' Association in Ballykeeffe, Mike Cussen, told the Irish Independent.
"There are anti-social problems everywhere now and the virus has spread. They will stick anyone in on top of you. No one is taking control of the situation," he added.
And what do the local Gardai seem to be doing to combat same?
That's what I'd like to know!
