How can we curb antisocial behaviour in Dublin City?
Summary
This episode examines Arnott’s request to halt social welfare payments at the GPO to curb antisocial behavior. Guest Richard Guiney argues the core issue is the overconcentration of vulnerable populations in Dublin’s inner city, which facilitates a drug market and heavy enforcement presence. He suggests that dispersing services to local areas would be more manageable than the current centralized approach, which has created significant challenges for the business community and public safety.
