It’s claimed Ennis town has descended into lawlessness due to escalations in incidents of criminality, feuding and anti-social behaviour being comitted openly in public view.
It comes as a Clare TD has appealed to the Garda Commissioner to intervene and commit further resources to this county.
It’s claimed the most robust responsible is needed from Gardaí, the Special Criminal Court and the Criminal Assets Bureau is needed to put down escalating feud violence in Clare.
It follows a number of incidents over the festive period, including one which saw two vehicles damaged on the Mill Road in Ennis on Christmas Day, while a number of individuals brandished implements on the streets – investigations into which are still ongoing.
Clare Joint Policing Committee member and Fianna Fáil Deputy Cathal Crowe has since written to the Superintendent of the Clare-Tipperary Garda Division and Garda Commissioner Drew Harris on the matter.
He says the full force of the law is needed.
A Ennis resident meanwhile claims the town has become unsafe for older people and that increased incidents of criminality , public intoxication and anti-social behaviour are ruining the county’s capital.
Morning Focus Listener John says situation urgently needs to be addressed.
