Good afternoon.

You are very welcome to LiveLine.

51551 is the text number.

You can email me, LiveLine at rte.ie, or as always, give me a call on 0818 715 815.

And as you'll no doubt be well aware of at this stage, a 21-year-old man was stabbed to death over the weekend in Dublin city centre, Caim Balogan,

was his name and details still emerging as to what happened.

But it was after attending a late night concert on Grafton Street when the incident occurred and a murder investigation is underway and a bystander as well sustained stab wounds during that attack in which

Balagan was stabbed several times, including in the chest.

Whenever anything like this happens, people get in touch with us here on LiveLine.

They get in touch through all the different numbers and email addresses and everything I read out.

People get in touch by WhatsApp as well, and they send in voice notes.

087 484 8888, I should say, is that WhatsApp number.

But Adriano is one of those who got in touch and sent us a voice note.

He lives on Parliament Street in Dublin city centre.

And he said he's noticed an increase in public order offences in the last few months.

That's what Adriano had to say on the WhatsApp on 0874848888.

He mentioned statistics.

I don't know if you saw it.

There was a brilliant, brilliant breakdown of crime rates by Garda Station and the Irish Independent yesterday.

And what they showed flies in the face of people who I know are going to get in touch and say the whole country's gone to hell in a handbasket.
