Where's Fianna Fáil and Fianna Gael when stuff like this happens?

You know?

Because we don't see them.

No one in my community hears from them.

Unfortunately, it's an, like you said, intergenerational cycle.

It's a big problem.

It's a big, big, massive issue.

So there's going to need to be numerous and numerous attempts at breaking it.

It's not just one solution, you know.

It's a whole, it's a whole varied approach of things.

And what really we need is investments, yes, in youth clubs, but also in education and family support and mental health services in the community.

You know, we need more therapists.

We need more group workers.

We need

more family support workers.

We need a lot more youth clubs, a lot more stuff to keep the kids busy.

We need opportunities for people to find employment.

There was a time where if you put your name and your address on a CV and said you were from Ballymun, you wouldn't get employed.

You wouldn't get the job.

People had to lie and say they lived in Glasnevin or put a nanny's address down or a cousin's address down.
