On Thursday’s Morning Focus, Alan took a trip to the Brú Na Sionna estate which is located in the heart of Shannon Town. Alan spoke to residents of the housing estate who vented their frustration and anger regarding the ongoing anti-social behaviour that is taking place on a regular occurrence. The residents described when the issue began and made reference to the various acts of vandalism and intimidating behaviour that groups of youths are partaking in locally. They highlighted the fact that they are now living in fear in their own homes and seek action in order to curb the issue.
Alan was also joined live in studio by Sergeant Seamus Mulligan who is a member of Shannon Gardaí. Seamus discussed the issue of anti-social behaviour in the Brú Na Sionna estate in Shannon and mentioned that this issue is one that has escalated quite quickly. He complimented the majority of young people residing in the town but insisted that the small minority of people engaging in anti-social activity are ruining it for everyone. He also made reference to the repercussions in place for anyone who may be involved in suspicious activities. Seamus made reference to the recent meeting between Shannon Gardaí and residents of the Brú Na Sionna estate where a plan was put in place to put an end to anti-social behaviour in the area.
