"I was 11 [when I first held a gun]"

Yeah.

Liveline
"I was 11 [when I first held a gun]"

Would you be intimidated now when you're walking through those areas, through the gang there?

Liveline
"I was 11 [when I first held a gun]"

Yeah.

Liveline
"I was 11 [when I first held a gun]"

It's a strong word, Kip, and I know people will react strongly to it.

Liveline

Yeah.

Liveline
"I was 11 [when I first held a gun]"

But June, the Garda station, because I used to live just down the road now from where you're talking about.

Liveline
"I was 11 [when I first held a gun]"

I mean, the Garda station's only about 400 metres away, is it?

Liveline
"I was 11 [when I first held a gun]"

From the shopping centre.

Liveline
"I was 11 [when I first held a gun]"

Yeah, it's just on the other side of the bypass, basically.

Liveline
"I was 11 [when I first held a gun]"

And what... Like, as somebody who's living there then and...

Liveline
"I was 11 [when I first held a gun]"

I mean, what feedback have you gotten from, you know, the GardaΓ­ about dealing with this on a more long-term basis, if it's happening every night?

Liveline
"I was 11 [when I first held a gun]"

Yeah.

Liveline
"I was 11 [when I first held a gun]"

Rebecca, I know you were saying, listen, it's not the fault of GardaΓ­, it's primarily this starts at home, but at the same time, I mean, if young lads learn that there's no consequences, legal consequences to illegal actions, there is an issue there, isn't there?

Liveline
"I was 11 [when I first held a gun]"

Oh, yeah, I get that.

Liveline
"I was 11 [when I first held a gun]"

Listen, we'll get into some of that antisocial behaviour and not just, you know, Ballymun and Finglas, but other parts of...

Liveline
"I was 11 [when I first held a gun]"

Dublin and the country as well.

Liveline
"I was 11 [when I first held a gun]"

And we'll get into people's solutions and whether it's more GardaΓ­ in the street, whether it's harsher punishments, whether it's punishing parents for the actions of their children and much more besides.
