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

51551 is the text number if you want to get in touch you can email me live line at rte.ie and Vivian is after getting in touch as well Vivian I know you've been listening to the conversation you are living in Finglas or you were living in Finglas I was I was I moved into Finglas in 1970 okay so I'm elderly I'm 80 and I got out of it for that exact same reason

But what about Vivian?

But Vivienne, you know, we kind of imagine parents...

Maybe sitting at home who don't care.

But what about parents who are really trying, but they're just not managing to keep control of the kids?

Or parents themselves, you know, you go to the parents and you say, right, we're going to punish the parents.

And you find the parents is maybe one parent and they're working morning, noon and night to put food on the table.

And maybe they've got issues themselves around that.

Sorry, can I ask Vivian, because you mentioned moving to Finglas in the 70s.

So it was relatively new.

Most of Finglas was probably built around the 50s and 60s.

So what was it like then compared to now?

And when would you say things started getting really bad for you?

But is the problem, I suppose what I was asking is, is the problem in 2026, is it worse than then?

It's worse.

And people say... To be honest, I think it's kind of getting normalised everywhere.

There's not a house you walk down in Ireland without getting a bang of weed into your face.

Absolutely everywhere.
